Brake Fluid flush comments and questions

Yesterday I used the Motive pressure bleeder to flush my brake fluid.
The fluid that was in there looked great.
Quite a bit was flushed last year when I replaced rear calipers.
The clean fluid made it pretty difficult to determine when the old was out.
Anyone have an estimate how much fluid the system holds? How much to flush each line would be really cool info.
I siphoned most out of the reservoir with a baster and replaced before beginning.
I ended up with 3 liters of brake fluid so I dumped 2 into the bleeder, I suspect 1 would suffice.
Also, I was unsure what pressure to pump the bleeder to - pressure check for leaks at 10psi so I used that.
Bleeder says use what the manual says, manual (Haynes) says use what bleeder says.
Pretty easy sleazy with this gizmo!
