turbobum Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I want to flush my brake system and replace it with Motul brake fluid. How much brake-juice am I going to need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBucket Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Stated capacity is 500ml. One bottle should do the trick but I always allow margin for error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbobum Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 The whole brake system only takes 500ml of brake fluid? Stated capacity is 500ml. Where is it stated? I couldn't find it in the owners manual. While we're on this topic, how much clutch fluid does the LGT need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 A few local members helped me with this issue this past week-end. it is stated somewhere that the entire system takes 500 mL and I believe the clutch is like 50 mL. In any case, it is the same DOT 3 or better fluid. I personally got the ATE Super Blue fluid and I think I have about half a bottle left. It is a metal can of 1 L so I cannot tell precisely how much is left but my feeling is about half. In science we always have at least 20% extra supplies. i sure would plan for more - maybe a spill, maybe there is air in the brake lines and you need to keep bleeding. The Motul bottlesy are half a liter and pretty darn expensive - 25ish or so. ATE is marginally inferior (wet boiling point) but much cheaper.

turbobum Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thanks, f1anatic. How do you get all the old fluid out, and all the new fluid in, w/o mixing the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thanks, f1anatic. How do you get all the old fluid out, and all the new fluid in, w/o mixing the two? They don't really mix, sorts, but slowly. Either way, you just keep bleeding until you see clear fluid or blue in F1's case. It's very easy to do and takes more time to get the car in the air and the wheels off than the actual flush. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meier motor sports Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 you can bleed the system till the resivior is almost empty and then fill with new fluid. as weasel said it mixes sorta but you just flush till its clean fluid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
