Brake fluid capacity

[vinu_neuro]

Anyone know how much fluid is typically necessary to do a brake flush? My issue is that I recently replaced a caliper and did a two-man bleed but the pedal is soft. Going to try gravity bleeding but unsure of how to tell when a corner is done since the system is full of new fluid. I can't find anything other than the standard amber colored brake fluid locally.

You need 1 quart to completely flush the brake system, the two rears are about double the two fronts.

Won't that depend on the vehicle in question?

On that Prelude, 1 QT should do it...but the fluid will keep for a long time in an unopened, sealed container...so I always buy 2...and mark them with a sharpie to know their age...

Thanks Astro14,

So when I do mine, I will buy 5 12oz bottles. Amsoil Dot 4 isn't available in qts.

Good Info, Thanks Again, Jim
