the oil filter has some sort of lock mechanism on it. It is like a clamp and it prevents me from getting the filter off. how or what tool do I need to get the clamp thing off?

That is a canister filter that requires a special socket to removed it. https://www.2carpros.com/images/external/PBT71110A.jpg http://www.tooltopia.com/private-brand-tools-71110a.aspx
