Apparently it want anticlockwise.
When i had finished stabbing it and turning it the wrong way, there was almost no solid filter left to stab,

But when i decided, well father decided it was the wrong way,
He just got it off.


Must be one of those super rare left-hand threaded oil filter housings then>?

Stab it and show that thing who's boss! I find brute force and swearing always works, it gets scared and does what I say, cause I'm so huge......NOT.

Nah, that's why I drive a mini, I don't feel like I have to compensate. It makes you wonder about drivers of old ford galaxies and yank tanks though....are there any bigger cars on the road?

What i do... is turn my head upside down (as the filter housing is effectively 'upside down') so I dont get too confused.
Then its easy.
