How much Brake fluid for a full flush?

I guess I am going to change by brake fluid for my DE this weekend and I have a few questions. First off it seems everyone recomends Motul 600, is this what I should go with? Right now the car is on stock fluid (2003 Turbo). Do I need to flush the whole system? How much fluid do I need to buy.

Thanks

I use ATE Super Blue Racing Brake fluid. It all depends on how efficiently you can flush. I use the Power Flush and it takes 1 1/2 cans (I think 1 Liters/can). I alternate between Blue and Gold ATE because you have to know when the old fluid is out and the new is in.

I thought the new standard was 1.6 gallons per flush?
I will check the local plumbing codes to be sure.

Castrol SRF is the best followed by Motul then super blue. It can be done with one liter bottle and a little will be left over.
Also for the DE make sure you have at least 50% of your pads left as any less the heat transfer is greater and you will tend to boil faster.
take an extra bottle of brake fluid with you to the track just in case you need to bleed the brakes there. I doubt that you will.

This is the same process I use and it is very effective because you know for sure when you have all new fluid. The brake fluids are the same less the color.
