How much brake fluid is in the brake system?

As far as I know, my brake fluid has never been changed (96 SE, 92K miles). I've got a Mity Vac and decided it was time to replace the fluid. How much fluid is in the system? Will I be able to do this by myself?

It's eaiser to use someone to depress the pedal instead of doing it yourself when you bleed them.

Dave, one large container will flush your system.

What the heck is a Mity Vac? You're not planning to suck the fluid out are you? It's better to bleed the system till clean fluid runs from all calipers. Keep adding new fluid to the reservoir so you don't get air in the system.
