Buy a 1 litre bottle, it is usually more than enough. Empty out your reservoir first, clean it out, refill with clean brake fluid and go from there. You will only need to top it up maybe 3 or 4 times to do a complete flush.

You cheapskate !!! AP racing 551 fluid is $34 for 500ml. I've found that 500ml is usually enough. Helps if the fluid you are replacing is a different colour to the new fluid. You can then tell if the new fluid has made it to the bleeder.
