I bought an oil filter wrench at Strauss Auto and it fit perfect. I think it's made by Pennzoil. It's the cup style wrench which that you snap on a ratchet.

The oil filter wrench is the difference between damn-near-impossible to get the stock filter off, and "that wasn't so bad". The $3 price didn't hurt either.

I'm putting one of these (below) on next change. This company even has sizing and adapter cross references specific to the 06 Si.
