Forgive me for not answering your original question, but have you seen this one?
Lisle wrench
It cranks down on the oil filter really well. If you are not dead set on a cup wrench, this might be a good option. I have a cup wrench that tends to slip off and so I bought the Lisle. Bonus is that it works on all my filters so I don't need a different one for each vehicle.

That looks pretty handy LL. I may have to get one of those.
I use a cup wrench on my filters and frankly I don't like them. They slip too easily for my liking.
I tried to find a picture that shows how it works, but in essence it is designed so that the more rotational force you exert the harder it cranks down on the filter. It works exceptionally well on the Harleys because it is difficult to get a cup wrench (I'll call them a cap wrench - whatever) in there. This thing only makes contact on 2 sides so I can get it broken loose with until it won't clear and then re-fit it on the filter. It's hard to describe, but if you have tried to change the filter on a Harley Evo or TC88 motor you would understand.
Well worth the $8

LL - Thanks for that link, I think i'm going to try one of those as the pliers that I use for my mom's car and my old car don't seem to fit where my filter is on my Integra.
On second thought, the shipping is $12
Dang... that would be the perfect size too.
My pleasure.
Actually I learned of the above wrench here on BITOG and I would give the member credit if I could remember who it was.
I guess this is one of those times that a newbie regurgitating old stuff is actually useful.
I found it cheaper on amazon through AutoBarn. I could just drive to AutoBarn but I called them and it was only $2 less at the store and i'd spend more than that in gas just getting there, since it's not really close to me. Thanks again
I measured my filters and the biggest I have is exactly 3-1/8" so that will be perfect.
I found this at advance auto... it looks similar and its a bit cheaper... i think i'll give it a try and see how it works...

I'm not sure if either is going to fit my filter though... i'll have to go to the store to see if it will, but im thinking the bottom of that 30001 pure one filter is bigger than 3 1/2 inches.
The diameter of the 30001 is 3.25" so you'd need a bigger one like that spider one mentioned above
oh cool.. how did u find the diameter of the 30001?

Nope! You have no excuse either.
#63600 - 2 1/2 - 3 1/8
#63250 - 3 1/8 - 3 7/8
Lisle Corp
I didn't know they came in bigger ones but I ordered the 63600 since I don't have anything bigger than 3 1/8"
You turn it to the right to get it on the filter, then you turn it to the left to bite into the filter.
