Stop fretting mate. It wont make any difference at all. Youd have to turn you engine almost upside down to starve it of oil.

Sure engines can have oil starvation under high G force cornering but that is when the engine is hot, the oil is thin and the system is under high load.

If it bothers you that much, best get dowm your estate agents

Or hire a digger to make it flat....

Or roll it off the drive before starting.. as long as rolling it isn't towards the house of course
