Default my oil filter is stuck

I was thinking of maybe a screw in the side of it. I can't seem to get a good grip with the "oil filter wrench" any ideas? The thing is all f'ed up from me trying to get a grip on it. I think I am leaking oil too.

Damn B4's.

Default what do you suggest?

I've been using the same kind for YEARS. its a hand pressureadjustable wrench with 4 serated teeth on two curved arms. Its a pretty standard one. Nothing special. Similar to this one with more teeth and more 2x adjustable <img src="http://www.toolweb.com.tw/Oil%20Filter/MW7051.jpg">

I hate the belt ones, never seem to work for me. If there is some oil or anything on the filter the rubber will just slip.

Default Big pair of Channel Locks....You'll have to crush the oil filter to get a grip on it.

Or screwdriver all the way through it.
