1)spray some wd40
2)get a good grip, use glove or cloth to add more comfort to your hold., this will in turn gives you more strength.
3)turn the right way.
4)untighten in a jerking motion or use a hammer or kick the spanner to mimick an impact wrench.
5)since you are doing it under the car, in doubt theres much leverage.
6) but please do all these only when you r on proper stands on both sides.

Use a jack instead.

Make sure it is in the correct direction!

1 more thing. If you cant remove the drain plug then you can try removing the cover plate instead. ( Plate with 6 screws) However this method will not drain 100% of the oil but roughly drain ard 95% of the oil which is around 2.1litre.

Remember to buy a liquid gasket as well. Read the instruction on how to use it!


I'm not sure if my method are recommended or not but so far nothing is going haywire :)
