How much brake fluid does the brake system hold?

I'm preparing to change my brake fluid, but can not find a source for how much I need to buy before I start to change it, plus I would like to know when I have pulled enough out as a backup to just looking at the color change. I can not find the brake system capacity in either the factory shop manual or the Haynes manual.

Thanks

It's like 3.00 for a quart, which will be plenty.
