11 litres is completely empty, you've got fluid in the cooler, pipes, t/c,valves and all the galleries in the box so that accounts for quite a few litres. One one site I was reading a few years ago it suggested when you had drained the fluid to start the engine for about 10 to 20 seconds and you would get more out, but never tried it in case it knackered something up or caused and air lock. Someone else might shed some light on that one.
It's a good idea to do the oil change and do it again a week later, it allows you to dilute the old fluid and refill it again with new oil. The only other way is to have it running while doing it untill it runs clear and then your guaranteed it's all changed! But without the apparatus it's not possible...
Drop oil, refill, drop oil, refill again.
The torque converter will hold a lot of oil and as said the oil cooler as well.
About 4ltrs a time if iirc!

Try not to poke a screwdriver through the body of it ... the top usually stays stuck and you then have the sharp edge to contend with ...
Bemble did a post on this a while back. As others have said you cannot get it all out in 1 go so you have to do it 3 or 4 times to get the vast majority replaced.
