Transmission: It ran out at 2.5 liter or so, then I turned the car on and filled another two liters in, for about 4.5 Liter total. The transmission fluid kit from ECS had seven liters, so I'm a bit confused, but it's also used in other cars. Then there's the thing about a liter or two sitting somewhere else and it doesn't come out when you do the ATF with a filter/pan change.
No major problems getting any fasteners, fillers, drains loose. Car is 60,000 miles and 4 years old or so.

I bought the FCP euro kit, which came with 7L . I use about 4.8, and spill 200ml to be sure it was full when the car was running.
Anyway, as per chrisfix video on if its ok to change oil on a auto transmission, having some old oil is not bad at all.
Most important is to change the pan, (new filter + magnet).
