thanx mate nother pain in the ass question the oil filter wont budge witch way dose it spin if im laying under the car with my legs hangout out the front of the car. right or left
clean the oil filter, with a rag or something so there is no residue on it.. wear some latex gloves, and it should grip really well.. from there its just man power=)
remember this lefty lossie righty tighty lol easy way to remember,
you car should take about 5 litre first fill 4 litres turn on the engine than add the rest if needed
best bet, fill it 1L at a time over 15min intervals and watch the level reading
then start it up once it's full, check the level again and top up as required

needs to be cleared up
start the engine and let it idle while the oil circulates and the filter fills up then switch it off and check it again

go to the dealer and ask for the filter removal cap tool, will make doing changes sooo much easier (if you use oem filters that is)
nah my dick head mate tightend the filter insted of undoing it making it imposible lol and i have 1 of those tools that use but it just dosent grip and when it dose theres no room under there 2 move its long handle around
if i can't get mine off i put a screwdriver through it (only if you're replacing the filter as well) and use the screwdriver as a lever. Messy but it works
