The Vanagon filter is tilted about 45 degrees as compared to the Rabbit/Golf which is tilted only very slightly and practically verticle.  The difference still stand in that while the oil will not completely drain out of the filter chamber, enough oil will drain out.

So, those of us with I-4 transplants tilted way over in our Vanagons may
