Default Fluid flush

It's time to do a complete fluid change on my car.
I bought it in June of last year. It's an '05 with 42000 miles.

My question is how much brake fluid do I need to buy to replace the brake & clutch fluid? I've found the capacities for everything else, motor oil, diff, Trans & coolant. Just not sure about brake & clutch.

Two liters of brake fluid should be enough.. you'll probably go through a liter just for the brake fluid, and then you can use a quarter/half a liter on the clutch. two liters should give you some extra to spare.

1 liter is definitely more than enough to flush the brake lines. I used Billman's siphon, clean and refill the reservoir method for the clutch. That used very little fluid.
