Total amt. of brake fluid in the system?

[Steve Levin]

I'm thinking of replacing my brake fluid with the spiffy Motul 660 to help limit brake fade at the track. My question is...how much fluid does the system actually hold? At $30/bottle I don't want to buy multiple bottles and have most of them sitting on the shelf if I can avoid it

Thanks!

Wow, $30 for 500ml (about 16oz). I can see why you need to know how much it will take. There is a Wikipedia article that says the average system contains about 250ml. On a couple of forums I read people who have actually replaced their fluid say they used anywhere from 32oz to 2 liters. Of course, this was NOT on a 300 SRT-8. I'll bet that two 500ml containers will do the job.

I just replaced mine (at 77,000 miles) with Motul 600 at $15 a pint. I bought 4 and only need 2.
