Brake Flush w/ Motive Power Bleeder what PSI?

So I have used my Motive Power Bleeder brake flush kit to change the brake fluid in my 370z Nismo multiple times. Its super easy and fast...

If you do not know what the Motive Power Bleeder is you probably cant answer my question but here is the webpage: https://www.motiveproducts.com/colle...c-bleeder-kits

Anyhow, I want to do my wifes C250. In reading a couple of how to's there seems to be a bit of a conflict. Some say to pressurize the bleeder to the the standard 15 PSI and in some they say to pressurize the bleeder to 2 to 2.5 bar which is around 29 to 36 PSI.

Anyone ever used a pressure bleeder what did you pressurize the bleeder to and why?

Thanks for your time!

My WIS says " Adjust bleeding pressure at fluid changing unit to 2.0 bar"

I pressure bleed my brake system every 2 years (4th time coming up)& use my small compressor . I find 20psi sends the fluid out of the bleed screws fast enough. Higher pressures are not required IMHO.

Do you have the sensotronic brake control?
I ask because I read that this may be the reason for the high PSI levels needed?
