I would think a quart would be enough. Are you gonna use a mighty vac or do the pump the brake type bleeding.?

Or get three or four pints, so that any left over won't be open...

Thanks guys,
I already had a 16.9 oz bottle of SILKOLENE DOT 4 and purchased 3 - 12 oz bottles of Prestone. Probably OK to mix the brands but I will likely keep them separate.
Going to a friend's to help me. He has a motorcycle garage in back yard where he keeps and works on his several antique motorcycles. Don't know if he uses a pump or not.

Just did mine with speed bleeders using the pump method. 1 quart bottle used with a tiny bit left to toss.

I ended up using a 16.9 oz bottle for front and back brake lines and clutch and had, at least, 1/4 of bottle left. Thought it was going to take more.
