I don't know anything about filter change intervals, but I do know that 
my filter wrench is just a standard $5 oil filter wrench from the local 
random parts store.  It's not a special-order item or anything.  
Thankfully, it's a standard size, we just get to use it on the top of 
the engine not on the bottom of the engine on the filter can.
