Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes How much fluid?

I'll hopefully be doing a brake tune up soon and am wondering just how much brake fluid I should buy? I plan on flushing the system, and refilling it with new fluid. The manual says "Fill to MAX" in the capacities chapter, which isn't real helpful.

Thanks,
Brian

To flush the system you'll need a large (32 Oz.) bottle of DOT 3 brake fluid. To flush ALL the old fluid out, you'll need to bleed all the lines until you're sure your pumping new fluid through them. You'll need to keep filling up the resevoir to make sure it doesn't go dry and permit air into the system.
