I almost used the whole Triumph Mobil1 container and based on the little
amount that was left, I would estimate that I used more than 4 quarts. 

I drained mine on a Skyking paddock stand (which gives another ~2" over the
center stand of rear lift), but then brought it off the stand to let any
further amounts drain out. 

Did you drain on the center stand? and did you start / run the motor and
then recheck the level?
