Oil Filter Wrench, What do you use??? Options

[jgara962]

Okay, let me just say up front that these are probably two lame questions.

1. What do you use to take the oil filter off?? I've got three f'ing wrenches in the garage and none of them work! Two of them you can't even get on the oil filter because of the location, and the other one (type that grips from the bottom) won't grab the Mahle filter. Not sure how in the hell I managed to get it off last time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

2. This one is really dumb, but I'll dare to ask it. My 914 spends a good part of its life in the garage. This is the first car I've owned that isn't a daily driver. So for changing the oil, how relevent is the 3 months or 3,000 mile thing? All my past cars, you just take in at 3 months or 3,000 miles - no big deal. Over a three month period, I may only drive it a couple hundred miles. Hell, I've only put on 1,500 miles since I bought it over a year ago. So for you guys in a similar situation, how often do you change your oil?
