That is the factory specification. You only get some of the fluid out with
each drain.

You need to drive the car a hundred yards or so between drains to exchange
the fluid that's stuck in the torque converter.

If you regularly do a drain/fill two or three times a year, you can get
away with doing only one drain/fill each time.
