Figure from 3/4 to 1 pint for the right rear. Then a half pint more or less
for all the others. Have 3 pints available if the existing fluid is just
dark, not black and gunky. If it is black and/or globs of crud come out,
you may need 4 pints for initial flushing, then let it dissolve the crud a
few days and flush another 3 pints through. Do test the system always
before driving by standing on that brake pedal as hard as you can. If
something wants to leak, you want to know it before moving.

I use not more than 2 pints to service well maintained systems (yearly
fluid renewal on clean systems, sleight yellow/amber tint only).

Yes!!!
