Default brake fluid max capacity?

Hi
i was wondering i have plan to upgrade front stoptech 4 piston BBK and front and rear mesh horse too. also i will change brake fluid too. i will buy to castrol SRF brake fluid it will cost to 1 liter around 70 dollar. this fluid can not mix other fluid. full drain out old brake fluid and if i can spend only 1 liter to totally safe to change it.i will going to buy it. if can not change for 1 litter i will not buy it. i can not spend $140 change brake fluid. if anybody knowing about this issue please let me know.

and another issue is i bought used set of front stoptech 4 piston 332mm BBK. i asked stoptech company. they said if you change caliper brakcets and disc aero hats you can install it B5 they said " Although you will be able to install the rotors on your 1998 A4, the offset is incorrect and must be changed to allow the rotors to be properly positioned in your calipers. You can not simply change the brackets and make this work. New AeroHats are required" aero hats must change cuz offset incorrect

if anyone knowing B6 1.8T AERO HATS can using B5 1.8T ?

my wheel is BBS RX 18" 8J AND I HAVE WHEEL SPACER

thanks

regardless of how much it takes, i wouldnt spend that much on brake fluid anyway. but 1 liter should be able to flush it out completely.

you can get fluid that is almost as good for a fraction of the price such as this stuff @ $15/liter

or if you need even more this is only $32/liter, Dry 594F / Wet 421F (castrol SRF is Dry 590F / Wet 518F)
