Re: What's the shelf life after being opened? Thanks

My rules for brake fluid storage.

If it's opened, use it that day and properly dispose of the remnants.
If it's in its original undamaged, iuntendented d package (can) it will last three years or longer.
The reason it's in a metal can is to make it harder for the water molecules to penetrate.
Most of the top brands are also packaged under nitrogen.

Happy Porscheing
