extreme newb Q: how much brake fluid?

so here's an extreme newb question that I really couldn't find the answer to ... I found a ton of DIY's on it, but nothing really said how much brake fluid I need for a complete flush/bleed ...

I'm gonna get the super ate blue fluid ... should I get one or two liters?

One will do, but get two any ways (not like its all that expensive)

When I did mine, I used slightly more then a litre. Then again I made sure the bitch was flushed...Like zzyzx said, play it safe and get two anyways. And if you don't use it, you'll have some laying around just in case...

get two cuz you might need extra after flushing and bleeding the air out

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

^^^ You can flush the system in full at least twice on one can (quart) of ATE. Pick up the blue stuff, just 1 can, then next time pick up the ATE Gold, so when you flush it, you'll know its flushed.
