I wouldn't put any grease on the sump drain plug.
Its on the side of the engine & is a normal right hand thread so undoes counterclockwise.
Large washing up bowl ideal-you may have to watch for rush of oil as you remove plug.
Check condition of sealing washer on drain plug-if well worn-replace washer.
Don't OVERTIGHTEN when putting back-use recommended torque setting to avoid stripping thread in engine casing.
