One great improvement to this process is to get a foot long piece of copper 
ubing to feed down the dipstick hole. 
The tubing for plumbing an Ice maker is perfect.  It will go directly to the 
eepest spot in the oil pan and not curl around like plastic hose does. Also it 
as a thinner wall so it allows faster oil flow. 
This tip came from the Mac Boring tech guy.

 suppose everyone has figured out his/her own system for extracting oil from 
he Yanmar diesel. But, for what it's worth ...
This fall I bought a 2.9 quart Outboard Motor Oil Extractor from West Marine. 
lthough it's designed for outboards, there didn't seem to me to be any reason 
t wouldn't work on my 3GM30F. And there isn't any reason. It works like a 
harm.
