Does using ramps for oil change allow all the oil to drain out even if the car is at an incline?

Default guess it depends upon the angle, and where the drain pan plug is (front or rear) (m)

I will find out this weekend and report. doing a DIY earl change on SAT.

Default When I changed my oil at 15k (more)...

I had the car up on Rhino Ramps. It seemed to drain all the way.

When I filled it back up, it took the full 7 qts so I'm assuming that everything had drained (and yes, I drove it off the ramps and made sure it was hot before adding the last 1/2 qt or so).
