Decided to do a oil change which I've done on other D4's,using a suction pump I can only get about 300ml out, my planning on giving the suction pump a clean out ?or any other advice appreciated

do it standard way
better way to get rid of all  from very bottom of oil pan if you part your car few degrees leaning to drivers side
never fails
most important thing is not to pinch oil filter can seal
