For the oil Pan, a socket and a ratchet will do the trick. I can't remember the exact size (old age) but someone will tell you,
As for the filter, I recommend getting a new filter, and then going to PEP boys where they sell all the different filter tools that go right over the end of the filter. They cost about $4.00 and work great.
The metal strap style wrench can work, but you don't have much room to swing the handle.

i use the metal strap style wrench, works cool for me, i hand tighten it as tight as i can get the filter, then i give a little baby turn with the universal filter wrench for some torque i can't get with my weak small hands, plus i usually get oil on the filter, enough for my hands to slip so thats why i use the wrench.

I use an oil filter wrench similar to this one to remove the filter...

The harder you pull on it, the tighter the claws grab the filter. Works great! To install the filter, I fill the filter with oil about 3/4 full (to prevent oil starvation on start up) , lube the gasket and just hand tighten.
