You need to use dot 5.1 not dot 5 , 1 ltr will be enough to flush the whole system , we have this on offer for £9.50 per litre at the mo

1 Litre is usually enough.

It's not necessarily the DOT rating you need to look for though.

Always use Motul RBF600 myself which is DOT 4 rated:

The DOT rating is not the main thing to look for.
