Did you unscrew the plastic knob on the bottom of the filter? Or is the drain screw (as distinct from the drain itself) on the top/somewhere else?

My filter doesn't look 100% like the picture. It only has the plastic knob on the bottom.. (there are otherwise 3 pipes connected to the top housing that can't be related to the drain and a big metal union nut).

Yours has the water sensor (if fitted) or drain cap on the bottom of the filter. Picture below shows the water sensor; the drain cap is usually white.

That's the beast. :)

I have a service coming up in the next couple of months, so I'll change my filter (it'll have 46k on it by then.. :D ) and then I'll be able to figure out exactly how it works with it off the car. It'll be interesting to see how much water actually comes out.

It's been completely trouble-free though, despite its mileage. :eek:
