The service manual quotes the capacity as 1.0 Pint or .497 L. That being said, it will require a lot more to flush the system. My dealer said he needed 1 gallon although others on the forum have used as little as 3 pints.

It's very hard to know exactly when a line is flushed, so you end up flushing more than you need. As such, I can easily see the dealer spending a liter or more for the job. Maybe years ago, I used to switch between ATE blue and Typ200, which would let me see exactly when a line is flushed. With the same color fluid, it's next to impossible.
