There is an easy way to get the oil filter out from the bottom!

1st) Jack the car up so you can confortably be under the oil pan area.

2nd) The oil filter NEVER has to be so snug that you can't take it off by hand. It should be snug, but you don't have to torque the thing down either. Soooo....remove the filter by hand, if not, then find a way to loosen it.

3rd) Now with the filter off the car. In the area the filter is sitting there will be an open area up and towards the back of the car, you will find a small tube like area (Feel around...you will find it) that is big enough for the filter to go through, then slide it through there, and it will drop down about 3\4 ft down towards the back end. Once you figure it out for yourself....it will save you time, I don't really know how someone could get the filter out from the top of the car, like it seems people here are suggesting.
