Is that correct?

Given the crap I flushed from mine the other week, there's no way 1L would be enough.

Also remember you can't store brake fluid for more than a few weeks once opened as it absorbs the moisture in the air and goes off, so if you buy a 5 litre bottle and use 2, you'll have to throw 3 litres away that are left over.

That's why 5L bottles are meant for trade garages really.

Consumer bottles are 500ml or 1l for that reason.

Thanks. I'll probably grab 4 X 500ml bottles then for 2 litres overall.

I bought 5L because is same price as 2L of ATE fluid.
And when I will change it I will offer in here maybe some one want to do same time and we can split a cost. You will not gona get 2.5L for £11?
If no one wants then recycling centre is not far from me

LOL, yeah at that price it's probably olive oil or something....

I don't think eurocarparts will sell olive oil.
If will be olive then I use for cooking and I think is still will be cheaper then in cosco or tesco

don't forget that olive oil is a healthy product...
anyway, I ll also buy a 5lt for myself since it costs same as a 2lt and I don't know how many I ll need in total (1.5lt/ 2lt/ 2.5lt) .

PS: I thought that you could store a properly closed brake fluid can for 3-4 months since the day you open it, not only for few weeks

Maybe, I wouldn't as you've let in moist air when you opened it.

But in reality since you won't need any more for 2 years, it basically needs chucking.
