As title, "by hand". otherwise, which kind of oil filter wrench should be used?
Thanks in advance.

I use a rubber grip wrench. It works great for most applications. Every couple years I have to resort to taking a screw driver to it (my persuader, lol). Doing so you have to be careful not to tear the filter in half, or else you have a much bigger problem.

Any good large size strap wrench. As stated before, depending how tight it was last tightened, how greasy it is, and the strength of your grip, you may be able to get it off without the strap wrench. If it's super tight, get the strap wrench as close to the base of the filter as possible. If you don't, it will crush the filter rather than get it off. May still take muscle, but you will eventually get it off.
