Disconnect the send line and let the trans pump out into a bucket as you refill from the dipstick. Takes ~13 quarts IIRC to flush it. Not sure the value of only changing 3qts.

4.5 sounds closer to what I have used in the past, I honestly don't know that I ever changed it before having a cooler added in line to give a "stock" comparison.

I just hooked my cooler up and when I disconnected the lines let them drain into a clear bottle and filled the it with the amount that drained out. should I add more?

use the dip stick I put a 12x6 cooler with longer hoses and put pint in and checked the dip stick. Its not like a radiator that is a lot of space so only little extra is needed.
