Renault Megane 1.9dci 2007 - Use of oil extractor for oil change - BobG

Can anyone tell me if it is safe to use a suction oil extraactor on this engine with its commmon filler /dipstick? When I push the dipstick in there is a feeling of resistance after about 20cm before it goes the rest of the way down. Will I cause damage on this engine if I push the tube in here - it's not like my other vehicles where the di[pstick just goes down a tube? The car is too low to the ground to do a traditional oil change easily and I like to change the oil on my cars at 6k and going for a full service at a good independent garage at the specified 18k.
