It's best to also drain the torque converter. It holds at least 2 liters of trans fluid and is easy to drain.

The FSM procedure for refilling the transmission is:

1. Actuate parking brake
2. Insert funnel into transmission dipstick hole and with engine stopped, fill in approx 4 liters.
3. Start engine with selector in 'P' position. Gradually add remaining fluid. Move selector thru all positions, pausing in each position for several seconds, then return to 'P' position.
4. Correct fluid level.
