One liter should be fine. Play it safe and order two liters. DOT-4 As long as you don't open the bottle you can save it to use at a later date.
I would also suggest you use a pressure bleeder like Motive's unit for $60. |

don't waste money on ate stuff. castrol srf or motul rbf 600 or 660 is the way to go

they're standard yellow but if you flush a whole litre you will flush the old fluid out. start with the back right side first and keep an eye on the reservoir. when it gets down top out with new fluid. repeat one more time and you should be good. same thing with other three corners. don't let air to get in the line otherwise you will be going through more than a litre to flush out the air

(see what I did there?) They're all great stuff, ATE is my preference because it is cheaper and still holds up to repeated track days (zero boiling for me), so it suits my needs. If I was endurance racing or doing more than just HPDEs, then maybe I'd need to look into a stronger fluid like 660. But I'm not.

Not a fan of ATE since it's blue in color. Normal fuid turns blue/greenish when it collects moisture - counter intuitive if your fluid is that color to begin with.
