Default flushing and bleeding brake fluid.

ganna be bleeding my brakes and i did a little research and some people say that your not suppose to push the brakes all the way to the floor because it kills your master cylinder, and other dyi threads are not mentioning anything about it.
also the sequence of doing the calipers for 94-97 is rear right, front left, rear left, front right?
can anyone confirm this?
what brand fluids do you guys recommend? im thinking about getting ate blue but cant find them anywhere. how many quarts would i need?

Don't push the pedal all the way.

The sequence doesn't matter. To anyone who thinks differently, prove that it does. I've bled using practically every method and the end result is the same.

Use whatever fluid is convenient. Unless you're tracking the car, why the need for ATE? You could just use valvoline's bronze bottle, I forget the name.

3/4 sounds good. A complete flush usually takes about a big bottle of Valvoline and the smaller bottle.
