Hi guys,

I have an '05 Dodge Durango Limited 4x4 5.7 and want to replace the brake fluid. However, I cannot seem to find any information indicating how much fluid the whole system needs (so that I can buy enough for the job). Has anybody done a full brake fluid change and know roughly how much fluid I need on hand?

Thanks,
Rhynier

 

Here is the service manula from Dodges website:

Thanks for the reply. I do have the service manual and went through it again just now to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I also own a Haynes repair manual and have also searched multiple forums to no avail. I am still looking for some kind of indication on the amount of brake fluid required to do a full brake fluid change. I want to buy 12 oz bottles via the internet and just need to know how many to get so I don't run out (but not too many as I don't need any more). Has anybody here done this and can remember roughly how much they needed?

Thanks,
Rhynier

 

I've done a few brake fluid flushes and i almost buy a couple 1 litre bottles.. better to have way too much then not enough especially if you only have 1 vehicle and you get half way through the job and realize you dont have enough!.

and that way if you have extra- put it in the garage and leave it until next time..just make sure the cap is on really tight. if it sits too long without the lid on, or a loose lid it will go bad!

 

Bump for people searching for this.

I talked with the dealer because I too am replacing all the fluid. The dealer service manager said to buy 1 liter; 1.06 Quarts. If you are using a one-man bleeder where one end of the collection hose must be submerged in fluid to keep air from backing up into the caliper then you will need more fluid to put into the catch bottle to submerge the hose. In that case you would need to have 1 liter of new fluid plus about 8 ounces of fluid to put into the catch bottle. The fluid that goes into the catch bottle could be used fluid versus new because it is just there to keep air from backing into the system when doing the one-man bleed.

You may also want to buy an extra small bottle of new fluid to have on hand, unopened and that could be a little extra if something happens during the bleeding of the system if necessary.
