I just looked at mine and mine faces the passenger side of the car. If you stand on the passenger side of the car and look at the engine, you can read the cap perfectly. What direction does yours face?

Depends on what side of the car your on! Mines faces towards the drivers side, so if your at the passenger side filling it up.........its backwards. Mine came from GM, I just shut the hood and never see it!
