Most models just have two stock. One from battery (-) to the frame and then to the transmission. The other from the valve cover to the radiator support. You can always add more if you want to. Why do you think you need to change them?

I don't know what that "drain test" means either. Realize that the guys at Advance typically don't know a lot about cars. You should check that the connections on the ground wires are clean and tight.
