[C320-list] Changing Oil in the Perkins M30

[Jane & Ken]

Greg,  oil changing is very simple on the perkins----on the starboard side very low on the engine is a tube that leads to the bottom oil pan.. suction is easy and complete.  We used it for 14 years without any problems..

There must be a easier way to change the oil in the Perkins M30. I have a simple hand suction pump and have tried pulling oil from the dip stick tube and a port on the left side of the engine.  It's always hit or miss and I never seem to be able to get all the oil out.  Does anyone else have a successful technique?
Thanks
