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

hey Dex, I don't remember the OM states this info for the brake system, I would get 3 quarts to be sure.

Mr Johnson

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.

Cool - 3 quarts it is - THANKS GUYS!

Mr J do you think that holds true for fluid you'd use in LSD as well? I bought some redline stuff for mine and they only had a gallon (takes about half to change). Does it go bad or is it just the brake fluid that has issues with exposure to air?

Mr Johnson

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.
