I'm not that used in maintaining bikes but now I did change oils and the filter. Nothing spectacular in that but you guess whether or not I have special tool to unscrew the old filter. But who needs tools when all you really need is duct tape and some imagination.
The problem with that filter is two folded. It was goddamn tight and also it's hard to even try to get a grip of it. I first rolled tape over it in hopes that I can simply pull it open with that - this trick did enable me to at least try with my full force just to find out it was not enough.

I was very careful not to spill oil and it is now waiting for me to take it to recycling place as CA laws and also common sense requires

I almost gave up as for a moment it seemed like the filter bested this round. But at the critical moment I had an idea I thought is worth testing. I apologize that the following video is in Finnish, but there is not that much to hear - I practically just tell that what I'm trying is to make filter opening tool out of too small tongue-and-groove pliers, screw driver and duct tape. See for your self how did it go.
