Super Blue shelf life

mousitch · 09-05-2012, 09:28 PM

I have an unopened can of super blue. Bought two but only used the one. It's been sitting around two years in an unheated Midwest garage. Would this be ok to use or is it trash? Again it's factory sealed but has seen some cold temperatures. Not much colder than a cars brake lines are exposed too at the same time.

If it's properly sealed I doubt you will be able to even get moisture build up.

I could be wrong though.

It's fine...I even use open (but closed properly) ATE brake fluid up to 6 months during the track season.

As others have said, as long as you didn't leave it open, it's fine.

Yeah the moisture is what you don't want. Isn't there an expiration date on it?

How long can you leave the M engine oil after its been opened but with the cap on?
