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?
You and I are both speculating about the intentions of the MSDS. I'd still like to see proof. How come there's not one engineering article stating that brake fluid degrades from sunlight?

Like I said, I don't care one way or another......I'd just like to see proof.
