Good one! Upon scientific investigation in the southern hemisphere oil drains clockwise as opposed to counter clockwise for those in the northern hemisphere. Hence the gravitational pull sucks oil upwards thereby eliminating the need for special reverse engineered gaskets and such on the lower engine components. Just go flush your toilet to see this phenonem and report back on this thread.
