How much brake fluid do I need for a brake flush on a 92 camry - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I decided to flush my brake fluid and I'm wondering how much brake fluid I need for a brake flush my a 92 camry? I couldn't find it the maintenance manual. Not sure if it is on the user manual (Could someone provide a download link for user manual? I couldn't get it when I brought the car.) From How-to guide in this forum, it seems 1L is enough. But the guy in Canadian Tire told me I need around 5L. Any idea? Thanks!

I did the front brakes on my '96 Camry with about 1/2 liter of fluid. I think you could probably do all four brakes with 1 liter. To be safe, buy 2 liters to and return one if you dn't need it. 5L is way too much! Click on this link for a DIY.

If you are very careful, you can flush all four wheels with about 0.5L. More realistically, it will take 24 ounces with experience, and 1L gives plenty of slack.

It's easier to not waste fluid if you alternate between ATE SuperBlue and clear/gold fluid each change, or your old fluid is especially dirty.

Thanks guys for the reply.

dz63: I was inspired by your DIY so I decided to flush myself. Great DIY!

Yeah, 24oz should do the trick. However, I wouldn't mind flushing 8oz through each caliper.

In reality the rear takes a bit more than the fronts.
