Your best bet is to find a oil filter wrench that fits on end of the filter, the cap style. Its not easy to get to the filter, and even if you can get your hand around it, you cant get much leverage due to the placement of the intake manifold and the alternator. I actually used a cord to loosen and tighten it. Wrapped it around the filter tight twice, then pull on one side to loosen other side to tighten, not the most elegant solution but it worked. I'm definitely buying the correct filter wrench when the next change is due.
