I picked up a filter wrench at Western Auto for around $4 and it works pretty good. The first oil change was a bear though...... don't think they lube the gasket from the factory so it is pretty solid, I think the part number was FL-820 but don't quote me.

I bought a metal end-type wrench that works with a standard 3/8" ratchet and extension that is specifically made to fit the flutes on the Motorcraft FL-820S filter. It was about $4 at AutoZone. Works perfectly.
