It would be, most of the time. I have seen some manuals where the oil filter 
capacity is in addition to the sump capacity.  Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE

 Wouldn't the oil held in the filter be considered part of the total oil 
capacity?

Diesel engines typically have a larger oil sump than a gas engine of the same 
size. That being said. A lot of the time engine manuals list total oil 
capacity. What would be added after an overhaul. You could have undrainable oil 
left behind, what might be in a cooler, turbo etc. If you change your oil when 
the engine is warm, some may not be completely drained back to the pan. 

On my Yanmar 4JHE I have a hose attached to the drain plug. I put my suction 
pump in the hose and such out any oil that would typically drain out  of the 
plug.

Tom, we have the same experience 4-4.5 quarts max oil change. Ours is a universal 35 and it’s on the same angle. Considering we only use a half tank of diesel a year I can live with a short oil change. Len MitchellS/V Crazy Legs1989 C 37+Midland On. Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the

I can't recall exactly but if you asked me how much oil I buy in preps for
an oil change I would have said 6 qts without even thinking about it.  I
use a hand vacuum pump but can't recall it's capacity.  As I recall it was
the larger of the 2 Moeller models at the time when I bought it.  The
suction hoses have a metal rod inside which allows you to pre-bend the tube
to better suck hard to reach area.

Every time I change oil on Alera I check the engine spec for the Yanmar 3HM35F 
that calls for 5.7 quarts.  I have never been able to get more than 4 quarts 
out or in.

I use an electric pump extractor via the dip stick hole.  I understand that the 
angle of the engine on my 37+ results in the oil laying at the aft end of the 
pan and try to make sure the tube gats all the way back there.

Anyone else been able to replace over 4 quarts!
