I can't imagine it would take more than 2. Having worked on Mercedes for 10 years and dealing with a lot of AMG cars (they use big brembo kits), I've never had to run more than 2 liters through a system.

I just did this last weekend flushing it and going to dot4... easiest way to do it (and yes a peddle pusher makes it 5x faster) is to flush the resevoir through the front driver's side break until the new clear liquid is coming out. then tighten the bleeder.
Then just bleed them farthest to closest ending with the front drivers side (which would be the second time for it). just make sure you bleed each one until the fluid coming out looks clear.
Technically speaking you can just do a normal bleed from farthest to closest, but if you are by your self clearing the resevoir through the front first will save you tons of time since you don't have to push the entirety of the resevoir to the farthest caliper before bleeding it out.
just make sure when you are done that you test the breaks before you go storming down the street whenever you are messing with the breaks.
