Afte r opening a bottle of b rake fluid, alway s discard any
unused portion. Never store or us e a partial bottl e. Brake
fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absor bs moisture from
the air. The moisture caus es the boiling temper ature of the
brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the
possibility o f accident or severe injury.
