Oil Change Basic Question
Hey folks,

I bought a Hunter 33.5 and am working on the first oil change of its Yanmar 3GM30F. I've tried a couple different dipstick pumps (manual and electric) and only been to get about 1L of the engine's 2.6L capacity out of the sump. The engine has been at operating temps for all these attempts.

Any suggestions for basic things that one could be doing wrong and causing the oil not to flow through the pump?

Thx jon!
