CAT 257b oil draining very slow

I started doing an oil change today and the oil is draining extremely slow. I mean a tiny trickle that was still draining after 6 hours. Is that normal? I had the oil fill cap open so the oil could vent but that didn't help.

    I take it you ran the machine for a while before you started to change the oil????

    nope I didn't and that must be why. I should've thought of that myself but thanks

    Maybe something is stuck at the plug hole, jam a screwdriver up in there
