I need to know which side is the + and which is the - on this capacitor.

Before you post, I have looked over the whole thing with a large magifying lense and found no marking to indicate + or -. All of the lettering on it goes in the same direction but not a single mark to indicate polarity. Any help would be great.

It's a non-polarized capacitor. There is no positive or negative side.
