My shop manual for the Volvo SX says for it to be trimmed all the way up, otherwise fluid will spray everywhere.

It depends on the motor, trim unit and age.<br />My 1995 Force 70hp is filled in the DOWN position, using 30wt motor oil.<br /><br />Dad's Merc is filled in the UP position, with ATF.

OMC's are filled in the UP position and cycled at least 5 times to get rid of air, refilling as necessary. With PT&T fluid or Dexron 2 ATF.
