1/2" internal tube diameter should allow for a 6mm OD tube inside
Just measured my dipstick tube; the top is flared-out, but it appears to taper-down to 1/2" (12.7mm). Plenty of room for the 6.0 mm OD hose.
I'm sure that the unit I'm ordering hasn't got the suction of a good shop extractor, but if it works, it'll certainly be worth $25, if only for one oil change.
P.S. added later,
I always warm up my engines prior to changing the oil (getting scalded fingers as a result, sometimes).
I forgot to add this note earlier, but double-checked my oil level just now, and the X5 hasn't used a bit since I got it in May 2021, as the level is still near max like before (perhaps a tiny bit is gone).
