again you put as much as the car manufacturer specifies and since you got no manual you will never know... i'd recommend you get a user manual off ebay to answer all your questions.

When it comes to replacing brake fluid, there is no amount stated usually. You just bleed and bleed and bleed until you are satisfied.

A good way will be to get Ate Super Blue and Typ 200 DOT 4 brake fluid. Super Blue is dyed blue (DUH!) and Typ 200 is golden yellow like regular brake fluid.

I suggest you use Super Blue first. Pressurize the brake lines with a Gunson Eezibleed or get a pal to pump the brakes. I would prefer the Eezibleed if you have ABS.

When you open the bleeder valves, the brake fluid will start coming out. When it turns blue, you know that the blue brake fluid has filled the lines. You proceed to the next and the next until you are finished.

The next time you need to bleed the brakes, you use the golden yellow Typ 200. You bleed the brakes until you see the old blue brake fluid turn to golden yellow.

That's is why Ate came with Super Blue. Both Super Blue and Typ 200 are synonymous. Same wet and dry bp specs and are basically the same thing except one is dyed blue.

DIY brake fluid bleeders alternate between the two when it comes to brake fluid change which incidentally is a very long interval. Ate's brake fluid are the stuff of dreams. All their brake fluid are DOT4 but exceed DOT5.1 by a really big margin!

I'm using the regular Ate Super DOT4 with a wet bp of 180 deg C. The recommended interval is 2yrs for this brake fluid. However, they are hard to find.

BTW, if you experience winter, you should use DOT3.

i used to keep it bleeding till the fluid is clear... usually the old one is too old and dark that you can see the difference in color.
