1998 GS400 Brake Fluid Amount / Volume
I'm about to order my new fluid, and I don't have my OM with me.
How many quarts or liters does the system require after a full system bleed?
TIA

Like he said. 2 will do but 3 to be safe. Once you open a bottle though throw it away. Don't hold it for use later.

They are both hygroscopic (absorb moisture from the surroundings) but to different levels. Oils will have anti-emulsifiers added that minimize the hygroscopic actions but they will slowly absorb water too.
To be "safe" I wouldn't use either if they've been sitting for a while (say 6 months to a year) but if push came to shove I'd feel better about using the LSD oil than the brake fluid.
