Bleeding Brakes

Bleeding Brakes
I have a 2009 Fit Sport with manual transmission.
I bled my brakes over the weekend and only used about 1.5 bottles of Honda DOT3 brake fluid. The bottles were 12oz in size. I was told by the Honda parts guy I would need at least 3 bottles to bleed the system but perhaps he just wanted to sell me more brake fluid. I also bled out the master cylinder and the clutch / slave cylinder as well.
My question is, did I fully bleed the system if I only used about 18oz of brake fluid?
The brakes are fine after the flush and the brake pedal does feel a bit less hard compared to before.

Did you bleed until the exiting fluid became noticeably lighter in color? If so, you 'aced' it.
I usually use two bottles of Honda brake fluid to replace. The clutch system requires about 3/4 bottle.
