It's another thing when you see how slowly it works sometimes.

What brake pads you sticking into it?

Was told they do get a little dustier that the other option they had but since I wash the car including the wheels regularly it shouldn't be an issue. That said a month on the road later this year and they could be a bit dirty by the time I get home.

BTW was moving some stuff around the in the shed and found an unopened bottle of Repco DOT4 brake fluid, not sure when it was bought (maybe 5 years ago) but it is sealed.

Worth keeping?

It's brake fluid. Not milk. It doesn't have a use by date. So long as it is kept sealed so it won't absorb moisture your ok

If it helps you save space
I have never needed extra brake fluid in over 30 years of riding / driving all kinds of vehicles
