Just did the first oil change on my wife's 2016 Skyactiv 2.0, and am wondering what other DIYers use as an oil filter wrench

My Fram 65-67mm cap wrench (purchased for my Yamaha motorcycle) should work in theory but in reality was too small. I ended up mangling the old filter with pliers which is not ideal.

None of the local stores (Crappy Tire, Walmart, Princess Auto, Partsource) had anything better, and I'm reluctant to buy from Amazon without knowing for sure that it works.

Suggestions?

I use this tool (http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/adjustable-socket-type-oil-filter-wrench/A-p8104028e) from princess auto to loosen the oil filter and hand tighten the filter after.

Thank you both. Not sure how I missed that, but I'l give it a whirl.
