Turn the filter buy hand, then one quarter turn with the oil filter wrench. That's plenty. Make sure you put some new oil on the rubber gasket with your finger before screwing it on.

How do you BEST remove the OIL filter on a 99 Sunfire?
Just unscrew the filter. If you cannot remove it with your hands, it was put on too tight, which is common, as most people tighten them too much. You will need to use a good filter wrench. The type wrench you will need depends on how much room you have. Oil the gasket & Put the new filter back on and only tighten it 3/4 turn after the filter makes contact with the mounting surface. By doing this you will not need a filter wrench when removing the filter next time. 3/4 turn is plenty tight and any more is too much.Just unscrew the filter.

Who do you change oil filter on vz commodore?
V6: Lift plastic cover off passenger side of engine. You will see a large alloy casting about the size of an oil filter at the top of the engine, with flats on it for a socket. Undo the top of the cartridge, swap the element and seal and refit. Don't go too tight or too loose. Too tight and you will crack the alloy. Too loose and it will leak. Refit cover when confirmed it isn't leaking and you're done. V8 has spin-on filter like most other cars.
