Default How much 3 dot brake fluid do I need to purge all the old fluid out

I have a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan with rear drums. How much fluid is needed to completely purge the whole system? Thanks

If you've never done this before I suggest having 2 of the big 32oz bottles (or one 32oz and one 12oz) on hand just in case. But you probably can do it with just one of those big bottles and if you don't open the second one return it.

If it's not contaminated, I wouldn't waste my time.

Tizzy I don't think it's ever been changed in 13 yrs. So does look to good. Also replacing both rear brake cylinders. Show a little leakage.

If it shows a little leakage, there's a good chance contamination got in to the fluid, if it were me, I would replace it. The last thing you need is for water to get in through the leak and reduce your boiling point.
