C7 Brake Fluid Capacity?
Maybe I missed it in the manual but I cannot find the brake fluid capacity for the C7 Z51. I'm about to bleed the system for DOT4. I'm under the impression that 2 liters does a full flush and fill, sound correct?

I can usually do it using two 12 oz containers. Using larger containers means you end up opening a container and not using a lot of the fluid. I like to have my new brake fluid sitting at the dry boiling point Vs the wet boiling point so always open new containers when flushing the fluid. If I have some left over I will use it to bleed the brakes at the track if necessary but the container has only been opened within the last couple of days so hasn't been exposed to too much moisture yet.
