I use a Sealey TP69 manual extractor and have found it will empty any vehicle oil sump I’ve tried it on (various Volvos, VW vans, MINI, BMW, Fiat…) in about 10-20 mins after a couple of a swift pumps on the handle while you have a cup of tea.
All the best, enjoy your trip!

did you also measure the dipstick and put a line on the tube to correspond with the plastic seal on the dipstick and use that as your "it is in far enough" marker, or is that just Me being paranoid about getting every last drop out ?
