I use ATE Superblue. also used Motul. Both are great high temp fluids. I like ATE since you can get blue or amber and alternate when flushing so you know you get all the old stuff out. Start with the furthest one, passenger rear, and work your way closer.

Just pump-fill-pump-fill until your old shit is out and you're getting fresh fluid?

How many pints/quarts should I buy?

i second using Ate fluid. i don't know your finances, but invest in a speed bleeding setup if you can. it makes life so much easier.

anyway, yes, if you're doing the old 2-man method, then pump-fill-pump, starting with the right rear, then left, then right front, then left.

if recall, i think a liter did the job and had a lot left over.
