I did this last weekend. Flushed both brake and clutch

used around 250/300ml for the clutch, and around half a ltr for the brakes.

Others will chime in with more accurate #

I can't rememer the oz but I used 1 large and 1 small bottle of brake fluid when I did the brakes and clutch. I made sure to really flush out the old stuff until the new fluid came out clear.

I had quite a bit of leftover fluid, but I figured I did not want to be in the middle of the job and run out.

If I had to do it again, I could do it with just one large bottle FWIW.

One liter should be enough for both.

I would like to do this as well, but don't know how to flush the clutch. Guess I need to look that up. I've done the brakes before.

Same thing (assuming you used the pedal method). The bleed valve is harder to get to, under the car by the clutch slave cylinder.

^Thank you.

there is a DIY for the clutch fluid in the FAQ at the top.

also 1 liter should be enough for both. you can't "save" the fluid either once you've opened it. discard any remaining fluid when you're done.
