Being a bit of an enthusiastic novice with these things, I'm always reluctant to rule out the possibility that I've done something stupid

Using that working out though...you are still only removing 5.5 litres...I use an electrical suction pump, and mine always sucks out between 6.25 and 6.5 litres, and the same amount of oil should stay in the cooler and the nooks and crannies as does in yours......
