2003 C5Z brake fluid capacity?
How much would I need in order to completely flush the DOT 3 fluid and replace it with DOT 4 fluid in preparation for some track days?

I used about 1.5 qts. when I flushed mine. Not sure if I needed that much because the old fluid was not really dirty, so it was hard to tell when the new fluid started coming out the bleeder. (Probably didn't need quite that much.) There is a brand that sells it with a blue coloring to make it easier to tell.

As someone above posted, try to get a fluid that's an opposite color of what's in there currently. I picked up ATE super blue and it was easy to tell when all the old stuff out. From my memory, I used just under a quart for the whole process, so I'd say a quart would be a safe estimate. Always pick up a little extra just in case
