Leading evidence: 'Use whole liter each time' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use fresh can' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion · Original poster
I know a simple way to do it would be to use Gold and watch for the color change, but I have a case of the ATE Blues I need to use.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I need to drain my brake lines. 1999 996. Currently have ATE Blue. Do not plan on draining the clutch. Does anyone know the volume of fluid it takes to drain the brake lines? Would a liter do it, or 500 cc's be enough? I know a simple way to do it would be to use Gold and watch for the color change, but I have a case of the ATE Blues I need to use. Any help appreciated. I'll be using the Power Bleeder.
I'm not sure I understand the situation behind your question. Do you have half-liter containers of ATE Blue? Otherwise how would using only 500 cc's help you?
When I change the fluid (but not the clutch), I open a liter of fluid, pour it into the Power bleeder and definitely have some left over, but I would guess it is less than half. Never thought to pay a lot of attention, since I throw it away (at my local recycler, not down the drain) anyway. Once you open the seal on a container the remaining unused fluid goes bad pretty quickly from the absorbed water. Well, maybe you could keep it if you put it in a shrink-wrap bag and vacuum sealed it, but geez, why bother? Unless you have half-liter containers, you might as well put the whole container into the bleeder. You definitely don't want to run out of fluid before you finish, as that will put air into the lines and you have to start over.
I cannot answer you question unless you buy one of our DVDs
And we did film the brake fluid change and pad replacement. We use the Motive. 1 liter container it all it takes and you should have some left over. Jeff
