How much oil?

Unless you pull the valve body and torque converter you are only doing about a 50% change with the amsoil.

How do you know it has 6 QTs?

From the spec document on the U340E transaxle:

Fluid Capacity Liters (US qts, Imp.qts) 6.4 (6.78, 5.63) (including differential)

BTW, I also plan on changing the Transmission filter.

The reason why I asking is because I have a 1997 Toyota RAV4, 5 speed. I installed an oil cooler and it works for both, the axle and the gear box.

Which means the transmission and the axle work independent from each other? Am I correct? Which Amsoil oil does the axle uses?

The Yaris automatic is a transaxle, which means it's an all in one unit. I am not sure on the amsoil AT Fluid. Toyota only recommends genuine Toyota ATF WS.
