I have to disagree. If you use say, .5L to completely flush your system, and then cap the rest off. You should be okay to use the rest for bleeding the brakes a few times.

Since the older fluid will only be used to top off as you bleed, it won't really be in the lines. I'd guess that you could flush your system, then use the rest for 3 or 4 pre-autoX bleeds w/o drastically reducing the stiffness of the pedal.

Plus that ATE stuff is suppost to be one of the best at resisting water.
