How much brake fluid do I need for a bleed/flush??

Looking to get my brake fluid changed (3 yrs. old) but forgot my Helm's at home. Dealer is on the way home, so if anyone knows how much brake fluid I need for this, please let me know.

I'd rather not ask the dealer as they'll probably get pissy that I'm not paying them to do it.

Thanks!

When I flushed the brake fluid in my car, I only ended up using less than one can of the ATE Super Blue brake fluid.

I used 1.5 bottles of Honda DOT4 brake fluid. Depends how much you want to flush it.

I used a little over one for my flush, if you're careful you can get under, just don't waste too much

For the price I'll probably buy 2 bottles and flush it well. It's amortized over 3 years anyhow.

Damn parts and service counters were closed early yesterday...

Thanks guys.
