I started it up, and gave it various rpms in nuetral for about 10 min, but kept it under 3k.

Drained, changed filter, and refilled. Drove it around for about 2 hours, went to store etc. Drained that and filled with my normal mobile 1. So actually i guess i used 16.5 quarts if you count the mobile change.
