Default How much transmission fluid is needed for a change in 2001 ES300?

Going to change my transmission fluid tomorow. Got a kit with filter and gasket. Can't find the exact amount needed for the transmission fluid in the manual, anyone have a clue how much I need, or do I just top it off?

Sweet man, thanks I semed to have found 8.8 liters in the manual but I guess the other half is for the half that doesn't get drained?
