    AFAIK it depends on whether the car has AC or not as the AC compressor gets in the way of the drain to the block

            Alex is right, if you have air-con the oil return is to the extension on the side of the sump.

            If you don't have air-con then the oil return is to the side of the block.

            That's how they left the factory but if you don't have air-con you can return to the sump or the block depending on which return pipe you have - the pipes are different.

            If you have a non air-con car then you won't have the matching hole in the sump extension but both air-con and non air-con cars do have the hole in the side of the block, it's just that on cars with air-con the air-con compressor bracket covers it.
