   Got a mate with a 206, oil filter will not budge. Anyone got any tips/ideas on how to move it ?

   Tighten a G clamp on it until it slightly crushes it to get a grip, then turn it off. If you dont care about health and safety as said above 'smash a screwdriver through it' both ways will get the job done.

   Usually occurs becuase the person who fitted it didnt put any oil on the rubber seal when they fitted it.
   
   Try your best with an oil filter wrench or screwdriver through and twist worked for me before
