David.X5 is on a distinguished road
It behaves like it has air in it.

I don't know if it is possible to damage the system this way. 5 ounces seems like a ton of fluid due to compressing the piston to get new pads on. Maybe your estimate is off...

I would start with a proper bleed and see how it goes.
