Title. I'm at about 40k km and will need to flush the system soon. Is a 1L bottle enough or should I get a 1L + 355mL?

Get 3 500ml bottles, you'll end up using seeing 300-350 of the third one. Save tge remaining for your next brake fluid change :)

Andrew can flush brakes in a few minutes, he's done it several times for me now. Every 20,000km if you're going to be hammering out a lot isn't a bad idea :)

Thanks sir! Why is the DOT 5.1 formula so much cheaper than DOT 4? Is the interval a lot shorter?

They probably sell a lot more 5.1 than dot 4. Most use for dor 4 is on atvs and bikes. Most race cars will use 5.1 or something similar would be my best guess.
