How much fluid is required to do a complete brake bleed of the MINI? We're having a SOMC "Tech Day" and most of the day will be spent bleeding brakes. I want to be sure everyone shows up with enough fluid. For the most part we'll be using Motul.

I'll finally get to use my pressure bleeder. :smile:

Regards,

Paul

A careful read through Randy's How-To shows that two bottles of Motul or 2 cans of Super Blue are required.

2 cans of Superblue is a little much. When I bleed brakes on BMWs including clutch, 1 can of Superblue is enough. I believe the 2nd can may be there just for backup.

btw, don't forget the blinker fluid.

And the exhaust lube

What pressure bleeder are you using? I need to buy one for a non-mini project.

TIA,

Jeff
