Default Brake fluid

Just a quick question, how many bikes front and rear brakes can I flush and replace the fluid with a 1 liter can. Stuff doesn't last so I'm gonna offer to do my friends bikes if they throw $$ in on the fluid. Oh and not sure if you guys care but Im gonna put ATE Super Blue in there and start the swap back and forth. thanks again.

Just a guess...

4.

Probably more depending on how stingy you are with the bleeding.

I'm pretty liberal when it comes to a first time flush. And out of sheer laziness and recommendations of fork oil? Gonna go synthetic just cuz that's what I like. Was looking at castrol, ohlins and hyperpro. I think motul makes some too be haven't invested too much time into researching fork oil.

I like Redline products...as with most oils, I really think this comes down to marketing and brand loyalty. I think, and this is my opinion, that there is very little difference between the major brands.

I use the ATE blue as well. I does last a while in the sealed can. But if you have a lot of extra, flush the car with it as well. I did my car's brake and clutch a few times and two bikes and I still have a little left. Gonna do the bike again this week which should kill the can.
The ATE works really good, BTW. Good choice.
