We just need to know which way the oil pan screw should be turned to remove it to change the oil. My husband is having a hard time getting it loose and he thinks that maybe he is trying to turn it the wrong way since this is a foreign car and sometimes things are opposite of what we're used to. He has also thought that maybe the last shop to do an oil change used an impact wrench and got it too tight. But our main question is which way to turn the screw - clockwise or counterclockwise.
