Right now im changing all my fluids and was wondering if my car needs to be completly level when fillling and empty it or just keep it jacked while doing it?

I only lift the front of the car up enough to get to the tranny and t-case. The rear is easily accessible when on the ground.
Never had any probs.

It helps to have the car leveled to elimate pooling whether it be in the oil, tranny pan or diffs. I've always changed my fluids while the car was level.
