Brake Fluid - how much?

smetzger

03 P5 (x2), 09 Miata, 07 Mazda3, 13 Fit, 09 Ody
I am going to change the brake fluid out.
How much brake fluid does a P5 take?

Thanks...
 
Depends on how you want to change it.

If just sucking out the reservoir, a pint will do.

If flushing through the bleeders, I would just buy a gallon. Flush until fluid is clean.
 
My usual assumption is you need a quart/liter to adequately change the fluid, and its best to have a second one handy just in case things go wrong. A gallon seems really excessive.
