Like I said earlier:

"You drain and fill with it once, use the pump (till it runs out the fill hole) Then you run that around for about 1/2 hr. switching in/out of 4wd occaisonally, drain and then refill again. Should take you between 4-5 qts. for the whole process"

One guy said his dealer told him just idling with the rear wheels off the grounbd turning for 20 minutes was sufficient. That would be a little easier, seeing as you wouldn't have to jack it up twice...
