How much brake fluid to use??
Hey guys,

Preparing for my first brake bleed. Made my own Power Bleeder and fluid catch containers. However, I bough the 500ml can of Petrocin Brake fluid from AutoBarn, and realized that is not really enough. So, I ordered another 1liter container. Should that be enough to bleed all four brakes?

Thanks,

If anyone is looking for original MB brake fluid, I saw an ebay listing for 2L @ $28 shipped, pretty good price IMO.

Disclaimer - I am no way associated or affiliated to the seller, just saw that it was a good price if anyone was looking.
