Brake Fluid Capacity
OK, before everyone says "search," I gotta tell you that I already have and haven't come up with an answer. I'm changing brake pads for the track and am going to change my OEM brake fluid to ATE Superblue. I need to buy some of the stuff and need to know how much to buy. Unfortunately, i can't find out how much the car takes? I checked the manual -- no go! I searched this site -- no go! What am I missing or is this the best kept secret in the Western world??? Thanks in advance.

I don't think it's written anywhere. Hopefully, someone who has done a full bleed can post and say how much it took. If noone does, I'd get 2 - 500 ml bottles. If you only use one, then the other can stay sealed for later top up.
When I flushed/changed my fluid it took less than 1 qt/liter of SuperBlue. This was a lot less than when I changed from the stock fluid to Motul. Motul and the stock fluid are close to the same color so to make sure I had all of the stock fluid out took more flushing, to the tune of almost 2 qts/liters
Using the blue-colored SuperBlue to flush, you'll know a lot sooner when you're done flushing out the old fluid. Therefore you should be able to get a flush done with less than 1 qt/liter. I bought 2 qts/liters of SuperBlue just to make sure I had enough. Now I have an extra sealed qt/liter good to go for my flush after next. My next flush will be with the amber colored ATE brake fluid.
If you haven't already, consider replacing your bleed screws w/Solo Bleeders or Speed Bleeders to make this a lot simpler job.
