If you lift the rear of the car and let it drain for 30 minutes youll drain the TC too
No. The converter is only able to drain from the level that it meets the transmission, which is the input shaft. So at least half of the converter will not be drained. Just pulling the plug, you get about 5 quarts out.... Which is almost half. But letting it sit longer to gravity drain will not drain the converter.

That was addressed later on. The TC does not hold 5 quarts lol, and as you said it'll drain down to the inlet/outlet so yes there will be like a quart sitting in the bottom of the TC

Uuuuuh...have you ever filled a TC before putting it on the transmission? Oh well, agree to disagree.

Since I picked up my car just under 16,000 miles, I'm doing what SM105K (and many others) suggest....5 out and 5 in at oil change time.

Yeah, and you can only fill it up as high as the inlet/outlet lol, the TC on this MIGHT hold 5 quarts when it is spinning. But its not even possible when at rest.

Well Ryan, our trany's are supposed to hold 11.5 quarts of fluid. If you take out the trans drain plug, I bet you don't get more than 6 quarts, no matter how long you wait.

Hi Ryan, it's good to see you can make a new profile. Same birthday date, the 420 in your new handle (clearly CO) to name a few. What you can't hide are your true colors, there is that narcissism shining through.
