I have been to Federal Mogul many, many times. They ship fluids and parts out by the barrel/bin, for the most part. A MSDS is not concerned with "packaging" but only with the material itself. When a manufacturer suggests keeping a product away from any specific condition it will be solely for the purposes of safety and/or product performance. Besides, have you forgotten what we are dealing with here? Brake fluid is extremely temperature stable, otherwise it couldn't be used as brake fluid. Or do you purpose that a bottle of Dot 3 sitting on a window sill will build more heat than it will in the res of a race car?
