I'm sure it would be given how long the stuff sits in cars for, but also given how much bikes depend on brakes to stop at high speeds and save the rider's life...you might wanna spend $30 on some good stuff?

Make sure the DOT rating on the bottle matches what the brake system is expecting (will be printed on the top of the reservoir lid, but if the foil seal hasn't broken then it hasn't been exposed to air and should be fine to use. If it was me though, I'd buy a fresh bottle, especially considering the price.

Also, have you considered tasting it to verified its quality?

As long as the type is the same...

DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 are increasing quality/grade of glycol-based fluid, they are backwards compatible, but not forwards compatible. eg you can use 3, 4 and 5.1 in a system designed for 3, but not 3 in a system designed for a minimum of 4.

DOT 5 is a silicone base fluid, and should not be mixed with anything else if you plan on protecting the squishy parts of your body.

New housemate has been selected

Hope living with a stranger isn't as bad as Alvin has led us to believe

Alvin lacked style and substance, which is why he had trouble with strange housemates

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
