sometimes they are tought to come off cold or not. just get a filter wrench, or the cup style tool that you put a rachet on. you could get ghetto a stick a screwdriver in the side and pry down on it.(at your own risk though)

Not really. It all depends on what type of engine is using it. Typically, you don't want to swap oil types during an engines run-span (in between rebuilds). If you freshly built an engine from scratch, pick an oil type and stick with it (whether it be synthetic or natural). Typically, synthetic is used on high performance engines from the get-go, whilst more daily driven cars use natural for cost efficiency.
