You can sometimes remove the oil filter by hand, but usually you need an oil filter wrench. Most auto supply stores and some hardware stores have these. The basic one is a metal band attached to a handle which you wrap around the filter. Others look like big pliers and others fit on a ratchet wrench. I prefer the last one.
