The only way you could be able to get all the fluid from the torque converter would be to have a flush service performed. Just a drain and fill will not drain the converter.

REPLACE ATF
(1) Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid.
(2) Reinstall the drain plug securely.
(3) With the engine OFF add new fluid through the oil filler pipe.
Fluid type: ATF type T-IV
Capacity Drain and Refill: 3.10 Liters (3.3 US qts, 2.8 Imp. qts)
(4) Start the engine and shift the shift lever into all positions from P to L position and then shift into P position.
(5) With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add fluid up to the COOL level on the dipstick.
(6) Check the fluid level at the normal operating temperature, 70 - 80 °C (158 - 176 °F) , and add as necessary.
NOTE: Do not overfill.
CHECK FLUID LEAKS
Check for leaks in the transaxle. If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O-rings, gasket, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
