Exactly 2 quarts for drain and fill.

A better method is to disconnect one of the cooling hoses running to the bottom of the radiator and run the engine at idle to pump out the old fluid. Then fill and pump a few more time, adding 2 quarts every time, until the fluid coming out looks the same color as fresh fluid.

That's true and I've done it that way, but for anyone that wants to try it be sure to read up on the many threads on CL that describe the procedure in more detail.
