1 bottle

Though when bleeding the brakes you don't need to replace all the fluid - only bleed until there are no more air bubbles...

Erm........ i think your missing one of the points of bleeding brakes.

You can bleed the brakes as you have described to get air outa the system and improve the feel and response of the pedal.

You can also bleed the brakes to put fresh fluid in, this is done as hydraulic fluid can become contaminated, dirty and lose its effectiveness. So what you do is just bleed it as per usual, but instead of stopping when the air bubbles do, stop it when clean brake fluid starts to come through. Which shouldnt take any more than 2 bottles.

Its recommmended that brake fluid is changed like every 2 yrs or sommat by most manufacturers.
