How much brake fluid needed for flush

Here says 3-4 quarts, but Acura/Honda doesn't sell quarts, they sell 12 oz. 4 quarts = 128 oz, so I'll need about 11 of DOT 3 brake fluid. Would just like a confirmation if my calculation is off

you can use any brand dot 3-4.
if you're buying 12 oz bottles, buy 5.

You should only need about 1L or 1.5L to be on the safe side.

5 bottles @ 12oz , as "Justnspace" said.
I changed my entire brake system last Summer and that is how many I used .

Get into the habit of changing a good portion at each brake job

Buy either the 1 person brake bleeding tool/attachment or the hand vac pump and you can do it fairly quickly. I've been using ATE DOT4 fluid from this site since it's fairly priced and great! I bought 4 for free shipping and used 1.5 -2 Brake fluid containers for each car. You should be changing it every 2-3 years at a minimum!

ATE DOT4 type 200! You can go to the auto parts store locally and pick up some Pentosin DOT4 fluid but the ATE is going have higher boiling point than Pentosin Brand DOT4.

Don't worry about LV (low viscosity brake fluid), it's meant for euro cars.
