Brake Fluid

Alright, I searched the DIY thread for this very simple question and I can't seem to find the answer....

I am going to change the brake fluid for the first time. How much fluid do I need?

Thanks

2 pints or 1 liter (different brands come in different size containers)

if you've never done it before, buy more fluid as backup.

One liter is more than enough. I highly recommend ATE Super Blue. It makes it very easy to see when you're done bleeding.
