How much brake fluid do I actually need?

[Pdesign1]

I got some braided brake hose for my ride. My car manual states brake fluid as approx. 0.4L.

 

How much brake fluid should I buy and bring to workshop who will replace the hoses for me? Do I bring a 500ml bottle or will they need more taking bleeding etc into consideration?

 

Any advise is appreciated. Thanks

No problem but why would you want to do that. Old BF is severely compromised.

anyone keen to take over half or one or one & a half bottles of ATE Super Dot4 brake fluid from me?

 

i just changed brake hoses and flushed brake fluid but they only used half of the 1 litre bottle, so no point for me to keep so long...

[Eyke]

yes, still sealed.

 

the mech told me to bring 2litres, but they end up using only about 0.5litres.
