Oil Change: is slight forward or backwards slope better?

[jblc]

If I have a slightly slanted driveway, which truck orientation is better for more complete oil drainage?
So far i've always done nose higher, but not sure if I should flip it for the next one.

If it leans forward the drain on the oil filter might back up. It drains toward the rear.

Lift Front end like usual.

I always drain my oil nose high also but not sure which way is best

when i give my wife an oil change, it's always on a level slope

I've had no issues on a level surface with no jack. It's actually quite easy after the first time.

KY blend? Is "level slope" similar to "diving climb"

Thanks all. Sounds like no need to change, and nose up was the right way.

I remove the driver's side front tire so it's always jacked up at the front.

Always flat on garage floor. No jacking up, seems like plenty of room for me to slide under on a piece of cardboard. Even the filter, I just turn the wheel and I have plenty of room to work.
Since I'm in no hurry, I do let it drain for a bit, every last drop, so to speak...
