Well.....I used my admin perms to change the way votes are tabulated. Now, every other angle side up vote goes to the Goofy SOB.

When you've got the clearance, angled side down will give you the best pour without the "run back" of oil down the neck of the bottle. When there isn't clearance, sideways is next best. Sometimes, if you're not using a funnel, sideways can actually be best, just because it allows you to get closer to the fill port, but that's a case by case evaluation. Angled side up is the worst for getting oil to run back down the neck of the bottle, and drip all over whatever you're working on. You're all welcome to do it wrong, though.

Were you an election judge this year?

He's not answering very quickly - He may have been, I wasn't allowed to get close enough to see if it was him.

I think you mean down

I don’t know if I’m more surprised by the landslide win, or the late coming third candidate almost taking second place!

I agree that the winner is the correct way. I usually start angle up so that I can close the gap between bottle and filler, then I flip it up and let it glug-glug with the angle side high to let the max amount of oil drain out while I open the next bottle.

Side method with a 4 liter or a gallon US , no room otherwise . I now use a longer funnel.

Hmm. Never thought about it. But I’m a sideways guy as well.

My preference is "into the motor", but I didn't see it on the list.

See, you just need to do more oil changes.

I have also seen, and done:

• Into the bilge (when I missed the funnel)
• Onto the floor (when I forgot a drain plug once)
• Onto the shoe (when I kicked over a bottle once)
• Onto the face (when filling a rear differential with fluid this often happens)
• Out of the pan (often quickly followed by onto the floor, see shoe above)
• and my personal favorite
• Onto the wall (twice now I've accidently reversed the extractor and had it spray the wall when I wasn't ready with another receptacle for the oil)

I do agree though, into the motor is the best of these
