If you look closely you will see the first plug before the rack in pinion. The second is the one you took off. That will drain about what you described. The first one only drains about 1 1/2 quarts. When i did my own oil change i added 8 quarts and it was ok. Btw i did not change the oil filter. Hope that helps.

Because the car was serviced 1800 miles ago by the dealer. But i took the car to the track a few times and wanted to put some fresh oil in it.
