I too use the band-type filter wrench where the wrench tightens as you
apply pressure. This works very well for me. I have a 4x4 so getting to
the filter is no problem at all! Just reach in over the front tire
through the fender well, spin it off slowly, and pull it back out
through the fender well. Doesn't drip a drop!
