Thanks everyone for your replies and thoughts!

I actually ended up using on only 2 and a bit of a 3 bottle in the brake flush. When I called the Nissan dealership service place they told me I need more than 3 quarts! So I bought 7 and now I have 4 unopened ones.....ehhhh these people at the dealerships...

I had the mechanic at the dealership do it for me because I have never done this myself, and I was with him most of the time. I missed the part where he bled the master cylinder, because he said that was the first thing he has done. I know that in the future I will be doing brake flush by myself and just have someone pump the brake for me.

Does anybody know how to properly bleed the master cylinder? Just for future reference

I don't think you sacrifice anything. Only thing is that it might be a waste of money if you never plan to track your car because I doubt in normal daily city driving you will ever reach high brake fluid temperatures.
