i have 3 bottles motul rbf600 brake fluid that i bought about 2-3 years ago and never used. i'm doing a track event (my first) next weekend and i was wondering if it would be ok to change out my current brake fluid with the 2-3 year old motul that i have.
the brake fluid sat im my closet the whole time, so it was kept more or less at room temperature, the bottles were never opened, and they were in a zip lock bag the whole time

No expiration date on brake fluid, this stuff is hygroscopic (it absorbs water from the atmosphere). As long as you have not opened the seal on the containers you are good to go. You might want to look at the wear on your brake pads, might be a good time for some new pads. I like Hawk HKS, just a opinion.
Enjoy your first track day, they are aDDictive.
