Last night, on my '92 wagon with ABS, I did a front brake job and bled the brakes with my new Motive bleeder. The Motive unit worked great. I only used about a quart of new fluid (about 250cc from each caliper). I noticed this morning that Bentley recommends removing 500cc from each caliper.

I used Castrol GTX LMA, which I had on hand. When I was done, my fluid was running clear with no bubbles. At any rate, I'm wondering if I did a complete flush. How much fluid does the system really hold? How much fluid do you use to do a complete flush?

Next time I'll probably go with the ATE super blue to eliminate any doubt.

Thanks!
