Check the owner's manual. If you haven't already.

I was able to do it using a little less than (3) 500mL bottles of Motul, but I wouldn't skimp and try to do it with just (2).

Yes, I had 1L and used one full 500ml bottle and had about 1/2-3/4 leftover in my 2nd bottle of Motul 600.

If they are sealed I think they should be fine? I know the can absorb water over time if opened.

correct a sealed bottle of most brake fluid is very stable and has a great shelf life.

I did a full brake flush with less than 1 liter of Super Blue. Thats all you really need. if you use the whole bottle, means you used too much.

haha, best of luck with that stuff.

i'd recommend 1 1/2 also. Because then it gives you a little to put in if theres any issues, esp if you're tracking the car.
