Stus-List 3HM35F oil capacity puzzle
I have a Yanmar 2GMF which calls for 2 quarts of oil...I use 2 quarts of oil every change...always do it when the boat is in the water just before Fall haulout as the oil pan is most likely level. And I use a larger Napa oil filter than the small Yanmar filter. But 6 quarts of oilwhat marine diesel engine requires 6 quartsmy V6 car engine only takes +4 quarts?

Stus-List 3HM35F oil capacity puzzle
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!
