Default Brake Fluid capacity 12 GS

I am preping for HPDE at Sebring next month and want to replace stock fluid with higher temp. I can't locate in the owners manual the capacity of the system. Can anyone help me out?

I'm curious myself. I would guess somewhere around a pint and a half.

A quart for a good, full fluid flush with the C5Z. I would expect about the same for the C6. ATE200 has worked well for me. Valvoline (or havoline) DOT 4 if nothing else available. The most on the C5 goes to the RR, the LF-LR-RF total is about the same as the RR alone. Easy to tell by switching from ATE amber to blue and back in subsequent bleedings.

Thanks for the reply, I was surprised that the capacity isn't listed, thought it was on my C-5. I have a bit over a quart Stop Tech STR 600 I hope its enough.
