Default Brake fluid reservoir capacity

I can't for the life of me find how much brake fluid I need to buy for a flush. Seems like a liter should be enough. Does anyone know how much is needed for a full brake flush?

Everything in the service manual just says to fill it to the line.

One liter is more than enough for a full flush on any normal car. You'll have some left over.

Yeah I went ahead and bought a 3pack of 500ml so hopefully should have enough for a 2nd flush sometimes in the next 18 months as well.
