[C320-list] Oil change

[Jeff Hare]

That seems odd. If you have a stock yanmar it should fit down the dipstick tube as long as the copper tubing wasn't kinked or flattened too much. 

If you have another model engine its possible that they have another place for removing the oil?

when I tried to insert the copper into the tubing, it was too big to go through the dip stick holder.....Iwas using a 1/4 inch outside diameter......is there a smaller copper tub available......??????

I just changed my oil today using plastic tube and I don't think I got it
all. I wish I had read this yesterday. I agree with Karl K. This is a great
tip.
