Are you referring to the oil filter itself or the adapter that mounts to the crankcase?

If the oil filter, they make "wrenches" that fit the top of the oil filter to give you extra leverage to remove them. Too many times, they are screwed on way too tight.

If the adapter, you'll need a 6 point socket and lot's of leverage. Mine was a real pita to remove it to change the o-rings.
