Brake Fluid Capacity ?!

rustyminded · 11-09-2014, 04:42 PM

Hey guys, I am upgrading the brake lines to stainless ones due to the pedal feel of the stock single piston sucks

so I thought to change the whole fluid and use Liqui Moly dot 5.1 but I really don't know how much is the Brake capacity Oil, any help appreciated.

I expect that if you buy a one-quart or one-liter bottle that will be plenty. I use a pressure bleeder, and usually put a quart in it to change out all the brake fluid in any car. There is usually a pint or so left when I'm finished, that I dump. I don't save brake fluid once I've opened the bottle.
