Bleeding Brakes - amount of fluid?

Hey guys, I just found out about a track day this weekend (Sunday) and figured that since I haven't been to a track all year, I should take this opportunity to go with the Fiesta. So I plan on at the very least bleeding my brakes on Saturday. Do you guys know what the OEM fluid is? I assume DOT 3 right? Also, does anyone know how much fluid it should take to totally re-fill the system with DOT 4? I have some superblue left over from bleeding brakes on my other car last time, but I don't know if it'll be enough. Would hate to run out partway through the process...

Our ST's COME WITH DOT 4 as please use a good DOT 4 fluid. I did mine with a 500 ml can after I swapped to SS brake lines . no issues

Thanks guys. I did just notice that the fluid cap actually says "DOT 4" on it, so that's nice. I do not have a vacuum pump for single-man bleeding, but I have a fiancee who I can probably coerce into pushing the brake pedal lol. So maybe I won't fully flush it, my car only has 1700 miles on it... just a good old fashioned bleed. Thanks again guys.
