Charlie/Mailyn, I use AP600, and did buy a bottle once that seemed darker than usual and caused brake performance to totally suck. The factory seal seemed to be intact when I bought it and the retailer said he thought it may have been "old". As in other cases, I'm not sure of the definition of "old". One thing for sure - if this is not your normal fluid, make sure it's compatible before you start mixing it. I learned the hard way (or should I say the "soft pedal way") that AP600 and Wilwood 550 don't mix. We missed you all in Memphis! Cory
