Amount of Brake Fluid to buy?

I am going to flush my system and am wondering how much fluid I need to buy? I was thinking of getting a 1 liter can of Castrol for 90 dollars(high wet boiling point) So it is sorta essential that I know how much to buy? How many pints? How many liters?

Well when I took the clipers off to piant, I put them on upside down and kept flushing it and kept getting mussy pedal. So we went through about like 3 bottles....remember that the bleeder should be on the top.

What he said. Super Blue comes in one liter cans around 10 buck. But it took me slightly over a liter to do mine. Here are couple threads of interest:
