Default what size Oil filter wrench?

I bought a 65mm oil filter socket, which was the smallest size available. But it is a tad too large for my oil filter. What is the correct size oil filter socket? Is there an oil filter brand that comes with the socket? Where can I get the appropriate size socket?

I like oil filter pliers better than sockets. Good leverage and adjustable size.

I just stab it with a philips screw driver and use the torque to take it off, lolz, who needs all these fancy toys.

Make sure when you put it back on that you don't over tighten it and you shouldn't even need a wrench. They say as you're screwing it on wait until you feel contact then turn it about 3/4 turn. Also lube the o-ring with oil.
