Go to your local auto supply and get an oil filter end cap wrench.
it looks like this http://www.mytoolstore.com/kd/kdfilt03.html
should be about 4-6 bucks.

not all filters are the same and no one tool fits them all.
they might have about the same od but the flutes/attachment to filter, are spaced different on different filters.

You can replace it with a K&N oil filter, they have a nut on the top/bottom, (depending on how you look at it) makes it real easy to remove. You can order them at most parts stores, around $10.

I like the Catholic method myself:
Say 10 Hail Marys.........2 Our Fathers............. a few more prayers of your likeing............then with divine intervention involved you can just reach down and twist it off...........always works for me.

i think mexicans just have over developed oil filter removal techniques from never having the right/any tool around.
