How Many Liters of Brake Fluid Are Needed for a Single Replacement?

[ZaneLee]

Approximately 1 liter of brake fluid is required for a single replacement. It is essential to use brake fluid of the same grade as originally specified for the vehicle, which can be found indicated on the brake fluid cap. Characteristics of brake fluid include: 1. Good viscosity-temperature performance with a low freezing point, ensuring excellent fluidity at low temperatures; 2. High boiling point to prevent vapor lock under high-temperature conditions; 3. Minimal quality degradation, avoiding corrosion and deterioration of metal and rubber components. The procedure for replacing brake fluid is as follows: 1. Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, and open the hood to extract the old fluid from the reservoir; 2. Use a funnel to fill the reservoir with new brake fluid; 3. Jack up the vehicle and begin by removing the rear wheels; 4. Remove the rubber dust caps on the brake calipers; 5. Loosen the bleeder screws with a wrench, attach a rubber hose, and connect it to a drainage bottle; 6. Operate the brake pedal inside the vehicle while monitoring the fluid drainage until the fluid level in the engine compartment reservoir reaches the lower limit.
