This sounds like a joke, but sometimes the cap cannot be removed when the engine is hot. It will turn, but just click and not back out, similar to a stock gas cap when its tightened it too far. So let it cool down, and then consider the phrase made famous by the Egyptians during construction of the Pyramids:

"Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty".

1)First open your hood, and take off the oil cap. 2)Then go under the car and you'll see the oil pan. It has a big black cap on it that looks like little spokes. That's the oil pan. Remove the oil plug and let the oil drain into a container. 3)Next the big black cap thing, You'll have to remove that, becasue that's where the oil filer is at. Once you have that off take the old filter out and put the new on on. Now to take the oil filter cap off you may need a special tool.
