How much brake fluid does it take to change and flush the system?
Will 1 liter do it?  I ordered 3, but apparently only 1 came today.

It needs slightly more than 1 liter as far as I remember, you loose some to push all the old one out.

1 liter is more than enough to flush and fill the entire system, and you should have some left over.

Kelu, you needed more cuz you were removing the clutch. Just for the brakes, 1 is enough.
