What adaptor are you using? Are you making one? Just by looking at it - I'd say it looks pretty spot on. But I guess you could use the lines on the sump as a reference point and actually measure the angle.

angle gauge on cylinder head or sump mounting face or a spirt level on a flat horizontal bit on gearbox or spirit level on vertical driveshaft cup?

Does it ever get cold where you live?..
Here we have 50/50, but I believe you would be fine with 20 %. It's more to avoid corrosion than freeze expansion at your location.
