Oil filter claw
I HIGHLY recommend these for oil changes. When I first started working at my dealership, another employee working there introduced me to the oil filter claw and immediately I went to sears and bought me one for about 20 bucks. It clamps down tightly and for those practically welded on filters it just takes it off with a little bit of hand force on the ratchet. The drawbacks though are that you have to keep tension on it to keep the "claws" stuck to the filter, also in super tight places it's really awkward to work with. It works perfect on my 4Runner and almost all Chevy trucks and SUVs.

I have recommended those for a long time, especially since the the 3.4 came out and the filter can be a pain to get at.

Nice, I've got the snap-on replica of that. Great tool. Add on a super long 3/8 extension and wah-lah! Piece of cake. On my 2.7 I use my hand though.
