Default Castrol SRF shelf life?

I have two cans of Castrol SRF from 2 years ago when I sold my track car. Well I am back in the game and was wondering if they can still be used. They have not been opened. I of course want to error on the side of caution but if they are fine I do not want waste them. Thanks.

Sealed cans should be fine.

Squeamish? Send them to me!

When Castrol SRF is saturated, the WET boiling point is still much higher then most other brake fluids DRY boiling points.

Use it.

Exactly. I haven't looked up the data on this but I do know if I leave a beer in the cooler, it doesn't absorb water. I wouldn't be scared that my beer was watered down after sitting in water for two years. Just my two cents!

They don't seal the SRF bottles.
