I tried using one of those strap wrenches yesterday. It just couldn't get enough traction to loosen the oil filter cap. The cap on these is pretty thin and a hard type of plastic, too. Maybe the dealer overtightened mine though. I get a dealer change in 6000 miles, so just left the filter in. Looks like I'll be ordering the tool for my next DIY change, which probably won't be for well over a year.
BTW- I believe Royal Purple is LL-01 approved, and about the same cost as Mobil 1 0-40. I bought the Mobil though.
