Oil and contaminants are actually at less risk of entering the airbox in the 'upside down' orientation.

Remember, the OCS filter is shaped like a cup.



In the 'upside down' orientation, vapors must pass through 2 filter walls (the side and the floor of the filter) before reaching the air intake. Heavy contaminants like oil and particulates will be filtered out by one or the other filter wall, dissolved in condensate fuel and dropped into the catchtube.



In the opposite 'official' orientation, vapor will only pass through one filter wall and up the open part of the cup. This is another reason why I like the 'upside down' orientation.
