Default NP203 Only Took 3 Qts

So from what I read before I drained my 203, you drain it from one of the 2 bottom bolts on the same side as the fill plug and then it takes 5 quarts to fill to the bottom of the fill hole.

I drained it until it stopped coming out of the bolt hole and started to fill it but it only took 3 quarts and then started flowing out of the fill hole. Am I supposed to drive it a little and then top it off? Or should it take the full 5 right away? Did it drain completely?
