Brake fluid capacity??

Ok, Im gonna service my rear brakes soon, drums, the whole bit...and while Im at it Im gonna through the always annoying process of bleeding and refilling the break lines. My question is, what is the capacity of the whole break system?

Im gonna wanna flush the whole system and start using AmsOil break fluid and I wanna know how much Im gonna need to order.

Also, any helpful hints as to the easiest/best way to flush the break system?


As always, any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you are going to flush it, buy at least 2 quarts.

If you are working alone, a Mityvac bleeder kit works well and doesn't cost too much. If you have help, just do it with the brake pedal.
