Default Brake Drain

I was wondering if anybody knows the approximate amount of brake fluid the car holds, I am going to drain the system and refill it. Thanks in advance.

I looked for awhile and can't find anything. Due to the fact that it's not commonly drained and changed I'm not sure if you will be bale to find a straight answer. My guess would be to buy more than needed (locally*) and then if you don't use some, return it. Could try and call a dealer and see if they know but if it's not somewhere online then I doubt they know. Once you do find out roughly how much you used post back up so we can have a rough amount!
