Geez,a 10 litre lasts me a year in 3 man workshop,it takes 8 months in NZ before it has absorbed enough water to be tossed out - what the hell does a home handyman want 4 litres for? Can you drink it?

i thought it was incorrectly filled bottles, not incorrectly labelled.'

and who uses 4 litres of brakefluid? we EAT braking fluid (not Dot 4 obviously) at work, and a 5 litre pressure container of it lasts a couple of months - changing a couple of brake units (as opposed to just pads) a night 7 nights a week will do that.
