I know I am a dinosaur when it comes to oil changes but that plug needs to come out for future changes. That is the only way to guarantee that all the oil has been changed and the flow of warm oil gushing out the drain hole will help to flush any debris lurking on the bottom of the sump.

that way you know the extraction tube is as far in as the End of the dipstick ,which is Well past "min level" and you Will be sucking as much as possible out,its how i have mine setup and get near as 5.5l out of my 2 V50s i take the filler cap off, crack off the oil filter cap before starting with the extractor, dont know if that makes Any diff but 5.5l out (or near as makes no odds) Edited to add a thought has anyone yet suggested using a Nut Splitter on the sump bolt not to Split it, but Wind the chisel tip in , to get a good grip, then use the splitter tool to start turning/break the bolt free ? Yes the head would be ruined post "digging a gouge into it",,but its already Needing to be replaced. downside, if it fails it will pretty much be "find local garage" and get them to sort it, by whatever means , but its close to that as it sits now
