Think I'll hold off until someone can hopefully answer without pointing to the search button.
If that worked for me I wouldn't have started this thread.

Given that the owner's manual says "this process is difficult and should only be done at the dealer" with regard to even -checking- the fluid level, it sounds like you need a service manual to give you details. I know that @arpad_m has a service manual, but he also has an older Camaro and it probably doesn't reference the A10.
I'm not saying this applies here, but my wife's Acura RDX holds about 3.5 quarts of ATF but it requires 10 quarts to do a factory spec'ed fluid change and it's because of the process: Drain, fill, drive 100 miles, drain, fill, drive 100 miles, drain, fill. It's total overkill. Also, the mechanic I use for most stuff (independent) has told me that the service process on transmissions is to exactly measure how much fluid you drain out and replace that amount only. This ensures that the exact proper amount is in the entire system, including the torque converter, since the amount that drains will vary depending on how much is actually in the pan at the time the plug is removed.
