Default Amount of Brake Fluid in the R?

I can't seem to get a definitive answer on this question and I do not have a Helm manual (yet). Can somebody with the manual please check and tell me exactly how much brake fluid the R holds (needed for a complete flush).

I have received about 4 different answers and 2 different answers from two different Acura dealers.

[background story: Had the 30,000 mile service at a dealer and they ended up using less than a bottle of my Motul brake fluid for the alleged "flush"]

Yep takes less than 1 liter to do the brake fluid.

I'll check when I go home... but I'm sure someone will post the answer before then.

you need to do about 1.25 bottles for a full flush, if you suck out the old brake fluid from the reservoir before you start, and can accurately gauge when the rears get new fluid. I usually suck at that last part and go through 2 bottles instead.
