Just completely flushed my system. Used slightly over 2 pints. You could probably get away with less, but I wanted to make sure I got all the old stuff out. It would help if the Motul fluid I used was a different color, but alas it wasn’t, so I could never be 100% sure I was getting the old stuff out. I think the StopTech Stage 2 kits are sold with 3 pints of new fluid, so that should be sufficient.

I flushed mine a while back and used less than a 32oz container. There was a pretty good amount left.

We generally recommend 3 500ml bottles of Motul or 2 Liter cans of ATE fluid when doing a comlplete system flush.

im installing FRONT ONLY Stoptech BBK tomorrow and was wondering how much fluid i will need?

would i still need to do a complete flush if im installing only the front kit for now?

also, if anyone could recommend a good brake fluid for street use with occasional weekend canyon run, that be great!
