Default Does Motul 600 Expire?

Next week I am having my local tuner put in C6 Sway bars on my C5. While its there, I am thinking about having them change out the clutch fluid. Its been years since I have changed it as I havent been on the track in the past few years. I still have like 4 unopened bottles of Motul 600. Would this still be good to use? Anyone know how much clutch fluid a C5 takes?

I wouldn't use years old fluid--did that with the Ford HD fluid years ago and it boiled immediately. This was from a sealed metal container.

I'm pretty sure that the properly bleeding the clutch is very hard even w/the car in the air. I doubt he will do it without dropping the drivetrain. Just change it 4-6 times in the reservoir, driving between changes.

Motul RBF600 in a sealed container should be just fine. They go the extra mile and fill the air space with nitrogen. Unless you got a remote bleeder installed when you replaced the clutch I don't think you're going to get it bled -- you may just want to do the "Ranger method" (search) and replace the fluid yourself.

No, I wont be bleeding. I just figured I would have him do it while the car is there. I was more interested in how good the the Motul 600 would be. I have Four unopened (500 ml) containers
