How many L do you use?

Yes, that is how it gets the reading in the first place, you can hook up with a scangauge to get the precise temp. Instead of a temp “range” using the temp light procedure.
Approximately 2L or 2.1quarts each drain/fill, i would just get 7L/Q to be safe.
3 drain/fill. After each fill need to turn car on idle for a sec and slowly move from P to D and back stopping for at least 10seconds at each point, do this twice per each drain/fill so 6 times total. keep foot on brake entire time if still on stands. This helps circulate the new fluid.
On the final drain/fill overfill it, (id just use whatever you have remaining maybe save .2L to be safe assuming you got 7L to start). Do the P-M idle procedure above. Then let the car sit to cool down assuming its over 108F by now. Then with the car running in idle as soon as it hits 108F pull the overflow plug and cap it when the stream is a very thin thread but not completely stopped. (had wife sit in car to tell me the second it hit 108f as you can’t go over 117F so need to be quick especially if its way overfilled, might need to cap plug cooldown and try again before its done draining to “spec”).
The final leveling should be done on as level of ground as possible most garages should be fine assuming you jack both ends up evenly.
Summary
Engine off - Drain/fill 2L - idle P-M and back twice stop 10 seconds each point
Engine off - Drain/fill 2L - idle P-M and back twice stop 10 seconds each point
Engine off - Drain/fill 2.5L - idle P-M and back twice stop 10 seconds each point
Engine off - cool down trans temp to below 108F.
Idle warming up trans temp to above 108F but below 117F - pull overflow plug and replug when stream is a very thin thread but not completely stopped.
