Default Parking on a hill, which angle is best for start up oil distribution?

The driveway to my house is at a fairly steep angle. I was curious if parking my car facing up or down would help at all with morning start ups when there's the least amount of oil running through the engine? Thanks for entertaining the thought.

Default 180 engines vs the 150

When did they start putting in the 180 1.8t engines in the a4s in america. i have a 98 and the guy i bought it from said it was the 180 but i thought they didnt start that until 2001

If you have the proper level of oil in the pan, it's irrelevant.
