Drain your oil. Stick a screwdriver through the old oil filter and twist counter clockwise. It works and your going to throw it the old filter out anyway. But do rub the new filter seal with some new oil and put it on before you fill the oil again. Tighten the oil pan screw also before you refill.Am i suppose to turn the oil filter clockwise or counter clockwise to take it off?
Counter clockwise it probably has tightened with the heat of the engine since the last time it was changed.
when you put back on put some of the old oil on the rubber that is on the filter so it will not leak...rub it on with your finger
Loosen counterclockwise and tighten clockwise.
CC, like any other screw.
if you dont know this anwser you should take your car to jiffy lube
