1990 Volvo 740 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I need to drain and change the oil. My question is what is the left or right to remove the drain bolt? This car needs a oil change quick! I tried left and right to drain the oil bolt with a breaker bar and a 1" socket, and it's stuck! I don't want to screw it up. Thanks
