Another thing a buddy showed me was that when you think all the oil is out of the engine, take it off the rear stand, get on it, and rock it left and right. You'll be surprised at how much more oil actually comes out of the motor. I was told it was the design of the engine cases that pools some of the oil on one side when you change the oil. Rocking it gets this pooled oil out of the cases. I've never seen the inside of my cases, so I don't know if this is what is truly going on, or if the rocking frees up oil that is in the cooler or whatnot, but it sure as hell works.

Hope this helps.

Good Stuff!
