See full version: Which way do you turn the nut on an oil pan
Crawl under, and find the engine oil screw near the front. Where you plug in the socket, use the wrench to loosen the plug in a counterclockwise direction. Once relaxed, you can use your hand and remove the plug. The hot oil will begin to pour out.

Furthermore, are all oil drain plugs the same? more

So, the righty-tighty principle depends on if I’m referencing the top of a circular object, which is easy to determine if I’m looking at a clock on the wall, but not so easy to determine if I’m feeling a nut on a hose fitting on the underside of the faucet. [links]
I hear myself thinking lefty-loosey, but then I begin to wonder, what part of this connection needs to go to the left? I try to move the wrench counterclockwise and wonder if that is “lefty.” The nut doesn’t move. Am I tightening this even further and making it impossible to ever loosen? I doubt the slogan. I doubt myself. Am I thinking about the nut correctly? After all, I am upside down. So, I try going in the opposite direction, but now it seems like I’m defying the principle. more
Certainly, being left-handed and dyslexic hasn’t helped. But for years I’ve been reluctant to admit how frustrating and unhelpful this handyman’s mantra has been, because I believed it must be me, and for some reason, I am just not able to understand it. But now that I’m a full-time RVer with lots of extra time on my hands, I’ve taken the time to study this principle in all different types of operations, and frankly I don’t think it’s my lack of understanding that makes this saying less than helpful. I believe, in some DIY projects, it actually makes the task harder.
Now with self-isolation and so much extra time on our hands, thousands of do-it-yourselfers are working on the different systems in their rigs, and I’m reaching out to see if any of you have problems with the righty-tighty, lefty-loosey concept, or is it just me?
Most lawnmower blade nuts are reverse-threaded in order to secure the blade on the drive shaft of the engine. This ensures that the blade’s rotation does not loosen the nut.
Most times, the blades of a lawn mower are reverse-threaded. … Removing your blade for sharpening or replacement will require the use of a socket wrench to unbolt the lock nut, which is often reverse-threaded.
Put a wrench socket of the correct size on the head of the bolt securing the blade to the blade holder, and apply force to the wrench handle in the counterclockwise direction to loosen the blade bolt. The bolt may have a 1/2-inch, 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch head, depending on mower model.
