and then when you can't get it off that one time you can't even drive to the store to get an oil filter wrench.

if you go to autozone, they have one that attaches to your ratchet, is fully adjustable or rather its spring loaded so it opens and uses the torque of you ratcheting as the grip on the filter...works great

I have a RiteFit oil filter wrench part #A257, it measures about 80mm and fits the OEM Mitsubishi filter. I think it was like $3 at autozone and it fits onto a 3/8" ratchet.
