reusing Diaqueen

I have a canister of the diaqueen oil for the transfercase and rear diff. I changed the fluid on the evo about 6 months ago and had a lot of extra unused fluid left in the container. I stored it in my garage since then and i'm due for another reardiff/transfercase flush. Would it be safe to use the remaining extra fluid?

As long as you left it covered up so nothing got in it, it will be fine.

I change mine every 2nd oil change, especially if tracking/launching the car. It doesnt hurt.

It wil be safe to reuse as long as no water or debris got into it. Some diaqueen sets here at the shop for a few months as well before it gets used.

I know motor oil has a shelf life of about 3 years, so I don't think applying this to the diaqueen would be a problem as long as it's stored correctly.
