the ZF 6HP19 holds 9 liters. On a drain fill you'll get about 3.5-4 liters out. I just replaced the pan/filter on mine. Go to the DIY and look for the thread. If you have leaks you'll obviously be replacing the pan/filter correct?
On my first drain I think I got about I got about 4 liters out and there was one liter stuck in the filter/pan area. When i took that off and drained it everything measured to 5 liters. IMO you should measure what comes out regardless. Drain and fill twice to get about 85%-90% new oil. The rest will be stuck in the torque converter
