Default Brake fluid/Coolant replacement - how much needed? ?

My rig is a 2013 RWD F Sport 80K miles. Talked to original owner still has the original brake fluid/coolant/transmission fluid/differential fluid. Taking to a mechanic for tranny/diff but going to do brakes/coolant myself.

Going to do a brake fluid change using mityvac tool and a partial coolant change (draining reservoir and radiator only). Not a mechanic by any means but feel I can manage it thanks to Toyota Care Nut and DIY Dan videos on youtube.

How much of each fluid do I need to refill properly?

Any tips from experts appreciated as well.

Thanks

2 bottles of coolant for a drain and fill is enough.

There's no set amount of brake fluid. You flush until the fluid is clear and free of bubbles at each corner, I suggest getting 1qt.

Better if you have techstream to flush the ABS too.

Yes you definitely want to flush the ABS.
