I having to change the fluid for my track day in Feb. Im going to order ATE blue for the car when i drain the system. However my manuel does not give a recomendation on how much the system takes, It comes in a 1 liter can. How many should i need. 2?

I was able to switch to ATE using one can when i put the turbo brakes on my car, that includes the clutch line also. I personally would just get two cans so you will have plenty left over to rebleed as you wish.

I'd get two, but don't open the second. Get a turkey baster to suction out the old fluid from the resevoir before starting. Top off the resevoir with the ATE and bleed normally. You probably won't need the second, but better to have and not need than need and not have.

I bled my brakes yesterday and it takes every bit of a whole can if you are sloppy or if the brakes really needed bleeding (like mine). I even did the clutch a little bit, but not much because I was running out of fluid.
