Premium Member DewMan Posted September 28, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted September 28, 2020 ...for a Spiedgler ABS Front & Rear brake line set installation. My brake line kit came with a free 250ml/8.8oz bottle of DOT4 which I believe to be drastically short of the amount needed to do a proper fill and bleed. Especially if you have issues getting those last pesky air bubbles out and you're using a pneumatic bleeder. Am I correct in my assumption? Would 500ml be more than enough? Since it's best practice to only use new fluid from a new sealed bottle, I want to make sure I have enough but not so much that I end up wasting half a large bottle. I guess I could buy numerous smaller bottles to minimize waste, but the larger bottles are usually much more economical. It's been 30 years since my last brake line replacement job and I wasn't paying attention back then to how much i was using since I didn't pay for the fluid. DewMan Just shut up and ride.

DewMan, I changed my lines, front and rear (non-ABS) filled and bled the system a few times with an 8oz bottle, you should have plenty.
