Brake Fluid Flush???

[cousteau77]

I'm replacing my old worn-out stock lines with stainless steel. How much brake fluid does a first-gen Q hold?

Thanks!

Generally i buy a big bottle (Quart) and a little bottle (pint).. I generally go through most of the quart and have the little one handy for extra...

Ditto on Wes' suggestion... I usually screw up and buy two big bottles, only needing a little of the second bottle. Then I end up tossing it... brake fluid isn't something that you want to open and then store. It absorbs moisture out of the air.

Just keep flushing until all the new fluid is gone. It won't do you any good in the bottle on the shelf.

Wes' suggestion is great. Keep a tiny unopened bottle around for top offs, if necessary. Most of the time just replacing the pads will get the level back to normal. There is really no evaporation of the fluid. It does absorb moisture, rather than evaporate.
