brake fluid

-
how much volume is there in the brake system? (how many bottles would i have to buy?)
 
if memory serves me right from many years ago, I bought a gallon for my E
body and used way less than half to fill the system and bleed it out. I hope
that helps.
 
I use Dot 5 in all my cars. My wife's Audi A8 Quattro came with it from the factory in 93. Other than the fact that she's hell on brakes no problems.

I decided to mix some silicone fluid with some dot 3 and dot 4 today.
Have them sitting in a clear container. Looks like the silicone is heavier
than the other fluids, but no thickening or gelling of the fluids, only a clear
separation layer. FWIW

Interesting - thanks!
 
I'd like to thank all of you who participated in my quick survey. I'd also like to thank those who posted very useful information. Thank you very much.

As an aside, I now know that when I see an "old" Mopar on the road I had better watch out, since it appears to me that only about 15 of you are using brake fluid in their cars :p
