ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 8m 26d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 19/01/07 10:02 AM Share Posted 19/01/07 10:02 AM it is ANTICLOCKWISE - looking from the top of the filter (the bit not on the engine)Under the car its front to back if you are levering it.I suggest a filter spanner as oil will go everywhere if you use the screwdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more leverage that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
