After you do that you have to change the filter, because the old fluid and any debris in it will go through it before it reaches the bucket. For this purpose I would buy double the amount of ATF your transmission calls for (5L X 2 = about 2.6 gallons). When you drop the pan you may be able to recover some of the new fluid with a large (clean) backing pan.
But a power flush is recommended, because if the new fluid is traveling at the same rate as the old, then it won't brake up the dirt build up (it will just change the fluid in the torque converter).
