Had similar issue on my Yanmar 3GM. I attached a 15" piece of copper tubing to the end of the plastic tubing. Problem solved and extracted all the oil.

In my case I was pushing too much of the extract hose down the dipstick opening and it would coil up in the pan where the opening of the hose was not facing / touching the bottom of the pan. It could have also run up the side of the pan internally (too small to see :)) I straightened my extract hose and pushed it down and got all of the oil out (4.5 liters). My extract hose is a little stiff so all I did was tape a s screw driver on the end for weight, held it up and used my heat gun. I cooled it off with a wet rag. I also wrapped a piece of tape around the extract hose so next time I know :). /John LF 38, #155, Ontario On Oct 31, 2021, at 5:31 PM, G Gao via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Universal Diesel 5424 here. According to the manual, this engine has 5.6QT of engine oil. Last season and today, both times I use oil extractor through the dipstick hole, could only get a little over 3 quarters out. Is this normal, or am I not doing it right? thx in advance. Bo -- 1974 C&C 35 MK2 Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
