Sorry, That was coolant. I can't seem to find it in the manual. Maybe the Bentley, but that's at home.Quote:

my bentley is also at home.
case, don't break the seal on the second though until you need it, since its hygroscopic.

i use 1 quart on back and follow up with one quart front, for whatever reason, my system gets dark within 2 years and i like not having to do things twice. it is probably overkill because my mom's previously unflushed ford taurus only took two quarts to do.
I used two 350ml bottles (Castrol LMA) to have my brakes flow clear using a pressure bleeder: That would have included the clutch too - until I blew air into it unwittingly: the clutch MC take off from the reservoir is near the top ?? - not the bottom!
Rob- do you know anywhere local to get some ATE super blue brake fluid?
It took me just over half a bottle of the ATE superblue do flush my brakes. weird. i exdpected it would take more, but no.
josh, www.xperformance.com in sj carries it. also edge motorworks in dublin has it.
i just looked at when my brakes were flushed two years ago, and only one liter was used.
