If you would like? for the sake of keeping the peace and despite the fact us
Brits widely use orientated I will use oriented.
Just to let you know in advance I use some really bizarre words and if it's in
the English dictionary (UK version) I will use
There's no difference both words have the same meaning.
In the USA you use oriented and in the UK orientated is widely used.

Some examples of different usage would be.
Boot (UK) and Trunk (USA)
Rubbish (UK) Garbage (USA)
Trousers (UK) Pants (USA)

Use what is correct in your own nation or culture or the way that you have

Hello List,
Originally, orientated was only used to indicate that something inside a
meteorite
was arranged or aligned in a certain way: a preferred direction in a crystal
lattice,
in the matrix of a chondrite or in the matrix of an iron meteorite, etc.
Examples:
