Default Brake fluid capacity?

I'm installing new stainless brake lines and new pads. Figured it would be a good time to replace the brake fluid as well... but I don't know how much to get.

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

I'm planning on getting the ATF Super Blue, if anyone cares.

You will need about 2 litres of fluid. The ATF super blue is about the best you can get without stepping up to the Castrol SRF at about 89.00 per litre.

So, by "about 2 litres" does that mean I should order 3 litres? Or would two be sufficient. Thanks!

I flushed my entire system with 4-5 12 oz cans of fluid. 2 liters will be about right (I've got 4 liters of super blue on my shelf right now, just in case).
