Default Quick Oil Change Question

Search really stinks on this forum sometimes!

If you are standing in front of the car, facing the car, which way do you turn the oil drain plug (bolt) to loosen it?

Counter clockwise.

Dude I'm sorry for the first post, The oil drain is in the front not the back like I'm use to on most cars.

Looks like I owe you a beer or two.
