Probably PB blaster or some other penetrating oil. I've read it can be a real pain to get it off. I opted to go with a samich adapter. From what I remember its best to do it by hand. Don't try to put a air tool on it or it could end up stripping the hex thing.

It's pretty easy. Basically a plate is held on by a double threaded bolt. The oil filter threads onto the bolt too. I've had no problems with oil leaking. I say do what you're comfortable with.

I got mine from prosport gauges. I think for the most part the samich adapters are universal for cars? I think trucks might be bigger?
