Which coats the entire inside of the sphere with black oil so good luck seeing how much you've pulled out on the second go...I actually ended up slightly overfilling it due to that and then having to Pela out some of the brand new oil before driving, so buying this bigger pump seems like a good idea for next time.
For anyone else considering, there's a 15% voucher applied at checkout for the next couple of days, making it ~£53

It's been a superb tool; I've got a 5L sphere one also and like you; trying to empty a 3.0l straight 6 petrol or diesel, it just gets messy with having to stop the flow to empty etc...
I have extended the drain line as it's not long enough to leave the pump on the floor and reach to the bottom of the sump etc
I used this:

It fits over one of the drain lines that comes with the pump and onto the pump connection perfectly
Means you can have it set like this then:
