Lefty loosey, Righty tighty
hey guys,
about to give my 89 520i a oil and filter change and its my first oil and filter change i've ever done on a car, just wondering before i start what way does the oil filter turn to losen off, from looking from the front of the vehicle does it turn clockwise or anti clockwise to loosen off?
thanks guys

Anti-clockwise to loosen the cover of the oil filter, clockwise to tighten the cover - it's like a normal bolt.
Most likely a spin-on filter on his engine though.Originally Posted by pingu
just as long as he doesnt put a fram on there its all good.
