    I have just launched a C&C 30 after it had been sitting on the hard for 2 + years. Wanting to change the oil I pumped the oil out through the dip stick. About 4 quarts came out, maybe less. I refilled it with 4 quarts of oil. The dip stick reads over full. I decided to not just take out the extra oil but to take out all the oil this time to give it a rinse/quick change, after letting the engine run a bit. The second time I drained the oil out through the drain plug in the oil pan. Only about ONE quart/liter came out. I've checked that nothing was clogging the drain hole. So now the dip stick reads over full and the oil pan is empty, and I know that there is at least 3 quarts of oil in the engine.

    Is int possible that I'm refilling the oil, through the oil cap but the oil does not settle to the oil pan, how could this be?

    Any explanation or remedies would be welcome.
