How much fluid?

Ok so I will be buying the stoptech SS brake lines from subydude soon, and they say it fits 02+ so I am assuming it fits the 06...We will see, but my main question is how much brake fluid should I buy? Is one liter (one can of the super blue stuff) enough? Guide me oh wise ones! I did a quick search but didnt find anything that jumped out at me in the first page or so.

If you want to do a complete flush get two 1L bottles. You won't use all of it but you also won't run out of it in the middle of the job.

I have the rest of my ATE super blue fluid (about 1/2) if you want it, Morgan. Let me know.

1 can and I only used half. I figured you can buy a can and then take mine and use mine first, and return the other one if there's enough in my can.

I actually asked for some along with some brake lines for my birthday so :P, I am not sure I will have to take you up on that offer, but if I need to perhaps I'll drop you a line . Thanks!
