How does one change the lubricating oil in a 3GM30? There is no drain
plug in the base.

Try pumping it out.

Ignore the Loco character. He's an idiot. Buy a electric oil changing pump or
one of the small brass handheld units. They come with a hose designed to fit
down the dipstick hole. This will enable you to pump out most of the oil. Try
moving the hose around to get it to the back of the oil pan. You should be able
to get all but about a pint of the oil out, which is fine. Now add new oil
minus the pint and you're set.
If you're dealing with an oil contamination issue, you'll need to do at least 2
changes.

Good luck,

RB

Ignore the idiots.

You need a pump that works through the dipstick. I use a Tempo Oilboy

The filter is more of a problem, since it always makes a mess. I keep a pack of
extra large diapers to try to contain it.

Add a 12" length of 1/4"' brake tubing to the pump intake hose. This
allows you to probe the oil pan and retrieve more dirty oil. Also, you
can fit a small disposable paint roller tray under the engine to
capture the mess from the oil filter. Remember to warm up the engine
or you'll be a long time pumping.

Good one, Marc! Cold oil build up the forearms!
