Brake & Clutch Reservoir Cap.
 
Hi guys & gals, happy Saturday for those of you on the west coast and happy evening for the east coasters : )

I am thinking about a brake overhaul and I couldn't find the capacity for the brake and clutch fluid since the manual says that they "use the same reservoir." If I were to bled/flush the brake and clutch fluid, how many Qts would I need to refill everything. I should add that I am having my shop do brake pads and rotors too while they are at it. Thanks.

Anyone anyone who is curious, here is my proposed setup:

F & R Rotors: Centric Single-Piece, (PN: 120.45071, 12045072)
F & R Pads: HAWK HPS, (PN: HB470F.643, HB378F.565)
Fluid: Valvoline Dot 4 or Castrol LMA (ATE SB is too rich for my blood! :nono:)

1 quart is plenty to bleed the entire system, you'll have leftovers from the job.

umm... i love left overs.

I quart is minimum. You can do it with that...but if you aren't careful you will need more to get it all changed out

The price difference between Super Blue and Most cheap stuff is less than $10...hardly too big a deal really :)
