Discussion Starter · #1 · Nov 18, 2009 I have finished constructing my brake pressure bleeder and will be flushing the brakes on Saturday when I swap my winter tires/wheels on. I couldn't find any DOT 4+ or 5.1 at the local auto parts stores so I have to pick up some Volvo fluid and it isn't cheap (1L = $21CAN). Will 1L cut it or will I need 2 bottles to be safe? Thanks.

1L was plenty for me.. still had a bit left too.

If the old brake fluid is particularly dirty or discoloured we recommend completely flushing out the old fluid and replacing with new. In which case you may need additional fluid. Most of our bleed kits are supplied with 100ml bottles of brake fluid. This is enough to bleed a complete set of brakes 2-3 times.

If you are changing the whole system or the MC/prop. valve, or the system has bled out totally, you may want 2 quarts to ensure its totally air free. Honda-Tech Member Thread Starter
