I'm gonna attempted this when it gets warm. How many liters will I need? Also has anyone changed the filter and do you really have to take off the front bumper?

My dealer did it and charge me 4 quarters. It is because not all fluid can come out (it remains 3 quaters more)

ATF Filter
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
18.ATF Filter
A: REMOVAL
1) Remove the front bumper. <Ref. to EI-21, REMOVAL,
Front Bumper.>
2) Using the ST, remove the ATF filter.
ST 498545400 OIL FILTER WRENCH
B: INSTALLATION
1) Apply a thin coat of ATF to the oil seal part of
new ATF filter.
2) Install the ATF filter. Turn it by hand, being careful
not to damage oil seal.
3) Tighten the ATF filter using ST.
Calculate the ATF filter tightening torque using following
formula.
T2 = L2/(L1 + L2) × T1
T1: 14 N·m (1.4 kgf-m, 10.1 ft-lb)
[Required torque setting]
T2: Tightening torque
L1: ST length 78 mm (3.07 in)
L2: Torque wrench length
Example:
NOTE:
Align the ST with the torque wrench while tightening
the ATF filter.

4) Fill ATF.
5) Inspect the level of ATF. <Ref. to 5AT-26, Automatic
Transmission Fluid.>
6) Install the front bumper. <Ref. to EI-22, INSTALLATION,
Front Bumper.>
C: INSPECTION
Check for rust, hole, ATF leaks or other damage.
Replace the part if any damage is found in the inspection.

N·m (kgf-m, ft-lb)
100 (3.94) 7.7 (0.79, 5.7)

It would be interesting to hear from someone that actually changed the filter and see if it can be done without removing the bumper.

I'm almost positive you can change the ATF filter by removing the drivers side headlight capsule. Once that is out the filter is right there.
