Same thing happens with my Volvo 30HP too. Mike Fair

I splashed out for the 12v electric pump with bucket to make changing the oil easier. Although I am made sure the engine (and oil) was super, I was only able to extract barely 2 of the 2.8 quarts that are supposed to be in the engine. I am thinking that the fairly stiff pvc pipe used for extraction via the dip-stick hole is somehow either not getting to the bottom of the pan (perhaps a baffle in the way?) or is being turned upwards (and perhaps forward where there is less oil due to the angle of the engine. Would appreciate any tips / ideas on how I can extract more of the oil - short of removing the sump plug. Jonathan Indigo - 35 III Awaiting haul-out in Milford CT
