I'll take it. Will test before use, but I've been using ATE Blue in the Miata - ATE is the perfect brake fluid for the Miata (we don't use the brakes much...and when we do, well the car is only 2100 lbs).

I've got 2 cans also that I was going to toss. One might even be yellow.

If the cans were closed I will bet $ that the fluid is as the day it was filled. I had a 1/3 full can of blue I found in the back of a cabinet that was over 10 years since I first opened it. I kept it and tested it with a true boil point tester every few years. No drop in dry boil at all. I think the last test it went down one degree which might have been my tester shifting with age.
Thin Plastic bottles from Trac Auto do not act the same as metal cans. I also tested some old old standard fluid type dot3 and it had degraded in the boil point enough to not use it.
