    Brake Fluid shelf life

    Anyone happen to know if there is a shelf life for brake fluid. Have a couple of unopened bottle of Castrol Dot 4 fluid which have been sat in the garage for about 18months. Should i buy fresh or just use this???

    I know Motul nitrogen fill their bottles to extend shelf life...

    Cheers

    If they are unopened they should be fine.I bought a brake fluid tester to test some old fluid,very useful little tool.Basically tests if it has absorbed any moisture.
    If its sealed properley,you should not have a problem with moisture contamination
