If you're going to open up the system (change lines, or calipers for example), I'd go with 2 liters.

If you're simply replacing/flushing the system, 1 litre is enough.

I did my front lines this weekend and replaced them with SS. The fronts alone took about .75L to get it air-free. The rears have even more length to them as well . . .
