We've been using strap wrenches for near twenty years. Before that, oil filter pliers and before that, just plain old muscle when I was young and strong! But! These LS oil pans gobble up the little filtro so I started using long filters and discovered they were still a pain to remove. So now we run K&N oil filters with the 1" nut on the bottom and can remove them with a wrench or socket and ratchet.






And never forget the persuasive abilities of a long screwdriver and a hammer!

all those tools are in my arsenal already, theres really no room to use them on the 2015 set up. ive also got a cap wrench, but its for a toyota. not mine, but helping a friend out, now i own one ill never use again lol

@Tonyrodz the trick to both of them wrenches posted are you never, and i mean never use them on the body of the filter, you can only use them at the very top of the filter where it meets the engine, up top is a solid metal ring, clamp anywhere else your crushing the filter.
