Brake Fluid?
When I did it I used over 1 liter... so I'd get two.
I had the most success bleeding all the outside banks of the calipers first.
Good luck.
^ This. I find it silly how **** people are with their brake fluid, have you ever measured your caliper body temperature, you'll be surprised how low it is unless you are 20 min track session racing. Almost any over the counter fluid will suit your needs.
You'd also be surprise how a lot of DOT3 and DOT4 fluids have similar boiling points over % water, and only at a very specific point is it better.... the more you know

When I caught wind of the feds cracking down, I promptly ordered a case. It's still available, but can only be sold 'for motorsports use only' IIRC.
These guys have it:

$16.95/L
I like alternating between the Type 200 stuff and the blue.

I have 120k on the clock and have never changed the fluid actually. I don't track my car at all, I didn't buy the blue stuff for boiling point or anything like that. It's just as a daily driver that rarely gets beaten on I figured getting the good stuff wouldn't hurt. And again since I have to swap out my abs computer while doing this flush I would like to see the blue coming out so I know I am done. Thanks for the tip about bleeding the outside of the caliper first also btw!!!
Hello STM!!! I buy ALL of my stuff from you guys :-) just not this blue stuff...sorry lol. I hope the move went well and everything is settling down for you guys now. Good luck with the new shop.
