This is BS. You can run the fitting BELOW the oil level line.
The OP needs to learn how to search.

you can, however the return line will always be filled with oil if you do that.
i would put it around an inch below the top of the pan. also try and position it between 2 bolts, to avoid the fitting from preventing you to tighten a bolt on the pan
