Oil Pan Bolt-Which Way?

Post by Subaru_Nation555 »

Haha, I always forget this but which way do I need to turn the oil drain plug to get it off. It is really really on there tight and I don't want to over-tighten the bolt doing it the wrong way and damage anything. Thanks and please excuse the really noob question.

I didn't think there would be but that's good to know. I don't remember tightening it so much last oil change but all is well. Thanks for the responses.
