Changed my oil but only used 3 bottles ...

Only takes about 3.5 quarts. Don't panic, just put in what you need to get the dipstick to read full.

Be that as it may... with a genuine Toyota filter... my experience has been that it takes somewhere between 3.5 and 3.75 quarts. There will always be a little oil left in the engine somewhere after you drain it.
