Hi guys - I'm gonna change my brake fluid for my s soon and need to do some shopping. Does anyone know how much brake fluid does it take?

thanks in advance.

enough for the brake lines and the master cylinder. 1 bottle?
take out the old fluid from cylinder pour in new fluids and bleed the lines starting from the one furthest (left rear and so on.) keep toping up the cylinder after you bleed.

Even with a complete flush 2x500ml bottles is crazy stuff. Just buy whatever size it comes in (200-250ml??) and you'll have heaps spare.

I got 1 x 500ml. Not sure if it's enough :(
Will probably go get one more bottle just in case ...

you use 5.1 on your S? Doesn't S2K only take DOT3/4 ??

I use RBF600 which is a DOT4 but a mate of mine uses DOT 5.1 and we have experienced no problems at all. For predominantly street use RBF600 is kind of overkill I believe.
