How to change your oil and filter on a Holden Astra / Opal

[@harmipouwhare5690]

Did you go clockwise or anticlockwise? Lefty loosey, righty tighty?? It looked like you went clockwise? I’ve been trying to undo my bolt for 2 hours. I can’t tell if I’m loosening it or tightening it??

Thanks Pressy, I looked at a few tutorials on YT first and was not happy, then I found yours.. the best one :) Better lighting audio explanations and down to earth instructions,, cheers mate !! Don't think I have a star drive atleast not that big, so maybe I will try getting a flathead screwdriver in there before buying one if I need to.. a bit different to my fords so thanks for the info :) I will sub you up mate , take care

No jackstands? That's a first one. I use a bump to reach the drain bolt.

Only 2 litres of oil? The Astras have a 4.3l capacity
