Drain into the top hole and empty from the spout...

NFW...every oil change I've ever done, the hot oil shoots out in a horizontal stream like a bad case of whistle dick. I use a huge drain pan with curved up sides and lots of room for error in predicting initial trajectory of said stream. Sometimes I hold it close to the drain hole at first if the vehicle is far from the ground, like my F-250 with 4 gallons(!) of hot oil inside.

No thanks, amigo.
