Title: How Much Brake Fluid Can a 280SL Hold
Post by: ericlee on January 25, 2012, 02:42:21

I am trying to order ATE Super Blue Racing break fluid from internet.  Can any one tell me how much I need to order to completely bleed the system.
Thanks!

Hello Eric

The filling capacity of the brake system is about 500mls of brake fluid.
However, if you intend to do a complete flush of the system, the prudent approach would be to order another 2x 500ml containers.

That way, you are covered in case the system leaks or you have an accidental spillage whilst flushing...  ;)
