I get it, that @Betik likes his lube up and down. I can't unthink it now. Angle down kinda guy, all day. Especially when oiling a 4-stroke with no funnel, I hate spillage.

I never thought of it frankly, but it makes sense when looking at the angles in those pics... Hmmm, the things I learn here.
I changed my vote! :eek:

No one else just inverts it and glugs the whole thing in at once?

I agree, hearing the glug, glug, glug and then silence is the best part
 
I'm a wierdo. I pour sideways.

Can we get a "I'm goofy SOB" option on the poll?

Also, where is my paper copy of my vote?

“Sideways” !!!! A whole new position to explore.
 
Forgot to mention the spirit of equal opportunity applies here as well..... port UP and Port down :D
 
I personally like the "ganksta" poor, HOLD IT SIDEWAYS PLAYER!
 
How in the heck did you get those pours on film? I am a mess with camera phone camera usually anyway but pouring a live quart and getting good photos... impressive!

I'm just surprised to see someone using the cardboard funnel that comes with the kit. :)

I keep one in the boat for emergency use, but I've never actually used one for an oil change.

It was an illegal ballot ! ;)

I also go sideways most of the time....
