I'm guessing the manuals are wrong. That pan is pretty big. I've drained and filled mine several times and generally use 4-4.5qt and I ck the level multiple times over the next month to make sure the level is correct.

What I'd like to know is what is the story on the transmission oil filter. I've been told by Toyota Dealer and a shop that specializes in Honda & Toyota that they don't sell a replacment filter, that it is just a screen and if it is that dirty/plugged I have more serious problems. The parts stores all sell a replacement filter kit.

BTW - I pour the drained oil into an empty gallon bottle of windshield washer fluid which I've pre-marked in 1/2 qt intervals. This is an easy way to measure how much I've drained to make refilling easier.
