Cant remove oil filter
So I purchased a mityvac to start doing my own oil changes and maintenance. Changed cabin filter and air filter however I cannot get the oil filter off with the wrench i purchased (size b from autozone). Just when it feels like it is about to crack loose it slips.
Any suggestions?
Also to verify, the oil dipstick tube is under the hood on the driver side (red plug with no security plastic thingy) correct?

Same thing happened to me the first time I changed my oil too. Seemed like the correct size wrench and it slipped. Use one size smaller, it's a tight fit. Be sure to turn it counter-clockwise...but you already knew that hahaha.
