How To Get All Oil Out Of Engine?

[pyrrhic 14 2 Cars]

It always baffled me that the way the engine oil drain plug is positioned in the XU5 engine you cannot remove all oil. The plug is an inch up from the very bottom of the pan, so there will always be aq sizeable amount of dirty oil sitting there, as fresh oil is poured in. Is removing the sump the only way to drain all used oil out the engine? Does anyone make replacement oil pans that allow draining of all oil?

Get yourself an oil extractor and suck it out through the dip stick tube.

I've been using one for years to service my cars, saves scrabbling around under the car and having to replace the sump plug washer each time.
