As a last resort you can drive a long screwdriver into it. It will give you leverage to twist.

Always oil the gasket. Ha

Do you have a filter wrench? You need one if you do your own oil changes

typically 2 styles- look like look like these

Zpac's screwdriver tip will work but that is an emergency, make a mess, last choice.

When reinstalling, oil the gasket and only tighten it hand tight.

Hand tight is no more than 3/4 turn. Some people don't know their own strength.

The y make filter wrenches that go on a 3/8 wrench with extensions
Thats what I go to when I have no luck, and usually when I go to those, the filter gets crushed before it loosens

Hand tight is relative to the person. If they hand tighten it they should be able to hand loosen it.

Yes don't worry, the screwdriver technique is always there if you need it.

damn HAHAH ran into this quite recently.Penzoil 76/14 filter wrench is what worked for me.Def double check that cause it was 1/2 pulled from my tool box and 2/2 is for a motorcycle(or vice versa LoL).Very little clearance for the screwdriver,strap wrench,or pliers if you ask me.
