ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m 19d 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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31918-urgent-help-asap-please1%E2%82%AC/page/2/#findComment-488094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more leverage that way Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31918-urgent-help-asap-please1%E2%82%AC/page/2/#findComment-488096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
