Brake fluid - tank capacity

pai · Mar 31, 2011

I'm preparing for rotors change and brake fluid replacement. Anybody has got rough idea how much of brake fluid I need - 0,5ltr, 1 ltr? Looking into OM this one is not mentioned....

I'm in the same boat as you. 1 liter should(?) be enough, but I purchased 2 liters just to make sure I didn't run out in the middle of the job. I also bought the blue fluid so it's easier to see when the new fluid is flushed through.

I flushed my brakes yesterday and although I can't tell you exactly how much fluid the system takes, it's definitely less than 1 liter.....likely close to 1/2 liter.

.....unless of course, I did something wrong and only half of my fluid is new!

Replaced front/rear rotors and pads few days ago. Used appr. 1,1 liter of fluid DOT 3 (my fluid tank was "almost empty" before the change), so for sure 1 liter is more than enough. Front rotors are slotted, rear -slotted and drilled, pads - EBC Red Stuff. Now I can say a have brakes.
