Yep what bazzle said but it also has a lot to do with the cooling system I think.

the slight angle allows any air in the system to bleed to the highest point.

This is what I was told years ago when I asked about my 308 hq ute.


Made sense to me at the time.

end of the day you have nothing to worry about.
