These filters are smooth, cylindrical canisters with knurling on the bottom that are difficult to grip, especially when they are oily.

So,Oil filter wrenches are used to remove or tighten spin-on, canister-style oil filters during a DIY oil change, and are made in a few different styles to accommodate different oil filter sizes and working spaces. End cap oil filter wrenches are metal or plastic cup-like sockets that fit over the end of the oil filter and are turned with a socket or wrench. Strap wrenches have a looping band that tightens around the oil filter, and may or may not include a handle to provide leverage. There are also three-jaw oil filter wrenches and claw oil filter wrenches that can be more suitable for removing oil filters in confined spaces where a strap wrench or end-cap wrench is less useful.
