I think the shimano spec is a "pea" sized amount. And usually you can tell if you don't have enough if the brake is VERY touchy (no modulation.) I'd just add a bit at a time until the brake wasn't touchy anymore.
thanks.
The stuff is expensive and I recall that pea-size amount quote, like you I don't believe it either. The instructions say 5 grams but I didn't measure every 6 months.
I have modulation and I like the modulation but then again I never had them new.
Shimano's position is that they are not serviceable meaning to me that swapping their parts out is not in scope. After getting the orientation of the parts right they are really easy to take apart and reassmble. A lot of people are servicing them to clean them out but once they wear out that is it. Sigh, maybe try more grease and see if it works its way in.
