How much brake fluid should I get?
I am going to get ready to do a SS brake line swap.
I'm going to put in all new brake fluid, but how much should I buy so I can complete the job right?
The service manual does not give a quantity.

not too much , app 500 ml . It is inexpensive. Get 2 bottles, dont open the seal until you need it, return the unused bottle.

One quart is enough. Swap the SS lines in quickly, don't let the brake fluid reservoir runs dry or you would spend all day purging air from the master cylinder.
