I have just changed my oil, all these threads about oil got me moving. I used the topsider and left the car to drain as much as possible into the pan for an hour after removing the filter and then sucked more out. It took 7.7 litres to the fill mark, I'll check again after a little drive. In the past I have tilted the car toward the dip stick to see if I could get more out but I sprained my back last time so I have quit doing heavy lifting.
