...questoin about which type is better.
My question is about storage. I have 2 bottles. Both have been in my grage for a few years. I has been used but is kept with the cap on. The other has never been opened. Hygroscopically speaking are they any good?
If even questioning it is not worth it and I should buy new... here is comes... what type should I buy. (I guess I turned it into the same old) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
The opened bottle is probably bad and should be discarded. I'd be leery of the sealed bottled after two years. Brake fluid is cheap -- go get some Castrol LMA (if you run D.O.T. 4)....

HTH!
 
I second Rob exactly
 
NOOO! Save it! It takes POR off better than anything else I have in the house or garage!
 
From your hair, I'll assume?
 
I bought the LMA. Can I use this in the clutch?
 
Yup. "Fluid of Choice." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
Probaly should have bought the bigger bottle. Don't know if I can do both with the pint.
 
Better to buy two pint bottles than to have a half quart opened to sit for months and go "off" tho!
 
Good one! I won't wind up in the same situation.
