PSA: if you own a bladder-style pressure brake bleeder and are bleeding the unit after refill, do not use the captured brake fluid….at least not immediately. Why? Aerated brake fluid….pictures were taken after 3 mins.
Aerated Brake Fluid

I never reuse captured brake fluid. Nothing better to introduce moisture to brake fluid than aerating (besides mixing with water directly).
I found old brake fluid stays aerated much longer than fresh fluid btw.

This is new fluid.
But once aerated, can be contaminated from moisture in the air. How bad depends on location. I would not reuse it where I live.
