Hello! I have a 2010 CX-9 and I performing my first oil change. I think Godzilla put that oil filter on. I could not get it loose for anything. So.. I ordered this oil filter wrench and paid like $12 shipping

It DOES NOT FIT the filter on the CX-9!! It fits the replacement Motorcraft filter I bought.... but the filterstuck on the ute is taller and thinner and the wrench does not grab. So.. did they change the filter design or what? Anyone have any tips on how to get that damn thing off? Any other wrenches that work well?
Thanks
