Default Will Super Blue age in the can?

I am about to do the biannual brake bleed and found an unopened can of Super Blue and was wondering if it ages. I am due for Blue this time as I used Type 200 last time so I thought I would use it.

Ciao

Hi Bruce:

As Jim said, if the can still has its original seal, its just fine to use.

Yeah, it should be fine. Remember, brake fluid LOVES and absorbs moisture readily - so make sure the tops on all your stuff is tight.

Thanks!

The seal has never been broken on this can.

If the can is opened, I would only use within a few weeks or month to top up or adjust the fluid level and then dipose of it. It goes with the used stuff to the hazardous waste mobile.

Cheers!

I am glad that you asked that question. I just found a 95% full can already opened in my garage and wondered to myself if it was still good. I got it when I had my last Porsche -- that was in 1998. 8^0
