I need to know how to get the oil filter plug out of a 2.5l engine.If it screws out,I need to know if it has left handed threads or right-handed threads.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I still can't get the oil filter out anymore. I made a gasket with some form of goop, and sealed it up so tight that the in-pan filter has been in there 8 years now.
