Default oil change

when raising the front to get under the car, the car is on an angle.
Would ALL oil drain when in this position?
Or do you raise the complete car and put it on carjacks?
Does it matter?

It's fine at an angle. If my memory serves me correctly, the plug is on the back of the motor, so if anything it will drain faster with it raised in the front, or on ramps

Lift from the driver's side frame, drain plug is on passenger side. Oil filter is on driver's side too. 3 retaining screws hold plastic lower front engine cover flap over oil filter.
