I've seen it done recently... you have to be quick, or you'll have oil everywhere.

loosening the oil filter on the G is harder than any car I have ever had. Put it on hand tight and 4k later it's like it's been on there since the dawn of time.

I use the k&n's since they have the nut on the end. Nut don't work well with a wrench but you can clamp the hell out of it with visegrips.
