Bleeding brakes with Castrol SRF

Store it in a nice place and the bottle should be good for 2 years

And if you have suitable smaller containers ..maybe from another brand
.fill those up .
Less air in bottle is better

At least.

 

Those plastic bottles reseal quite well.

You should be able to save the unused portion in the original container. It shouldn’t go bad if kept in a cool, dark place. Depending how frequently you’re bleeding your lines, it won’t go bad before it’s used up (in your case certainly not).

I’ve just had mine bled and am set for tomorrow at Sebring, Fall driving season is finally upon south FL and track conditions look great!

 

I read the spec and the way it describes it is after a drum is open .. so if a open drum last 2 years a sealed bottle will last at least that .

If you want to be 10000 percent sure ..send a not to Castrol ..they will answer probably within a few days

Considering motul 600 is 600 dry boil and SRF is 518 wet, I would rather have clean dry, cheaper motul 600 than more costly but leave it in longer to collect water SRF. But if the brakes are up the task you should not have to worry about fluid past a simple dot 4 spec.. There was a time we were racing vettes in SCCA where we killed race pads and cracked rotors by the end of the weekend. Then due to brake failure at the Runoffs and a trip via AirAmbulance SCCA allowed real brakes. Then pads lasted 3 race weekend and rotors the entire season or two! Fluid was Dot whatever Valvoline synthetic cheap stuff from Napa.

If my brake system was marginal fluid is not my 1st fix.

 

If you want to extend shelf life, pour some butane in the bottle. That's how we were protecting photographic chemestry once the bottes were opened. The gas is heavier than air, so makes a protective layer at the surface of the liquid.

 

Try that in a street car without race brakes. Sorry, stupid answer. Not everyone here, in fact almost none are running race brakes and you are very aware of that.

A lot of street cars brakes fluid goes first.

 

No. Its packed in nitrogen. Unopened it absorbs nothing. And if flushed thoroughly it will use the majority of that 1 liter bottle so the remains are of little consequence.
