Hey everyone. I'm new to the ATV world and just purchased my first ATV, and I'm confused as to which way the oil filter goes in. It has a female end and a closed end. Does the female end face the engine or does it go in the other way? I can post pictures if need be. The filter is a KN-145.

 

In this order #9,10,12,11.

 

Not the filter screen, but the oil filter itself which is located behind the shifter.

 

It looks like #13.

 

It sure is.

Looks like the closed end face outwards.

I thought all Yamahas had the spin on automotive type filters by 1995.

 

Apparently this one doesn't and that's why I found it so confusing. Thanks for your help, man.
