Default 05 es330 brake fluid flush

Planning to flush by using abs pump to do the rears, then doing the fronts by pumping pedal. From what I have read about other models of this age, the motive pressure pump system won't work because of the abs pump system controlling rears. anyone with experience with this vintage ES?

I flushed mine the other day, I just used the "pump the pedal" method. I have a pressure bleeder, but I was afraid to use it.

I think you're stressing it too much. Just bleed it like any other regular car, ABS doesn't have anything to do with it. I would get some speed bleeders, makes job so much easier.

did this today with the pump the pedal method and switched to super blue fluid. seemed to take a long time on the first rear wheel to pump old fluid out as we did not have something to pump out the res. at the start

I'm about to order Toyota brake fluid to flush the brake system on my '04 ES 330. I've searched the books and the web but am unable to find the brake fluid capacity. It comes in 12 oz. containers so can someone tell me how much I should order?

Two or three should be enough. The majority is in the brake reservoir.
