Can sitting fluid absorb moisture?

I have a track day friday, just got stainliness lines and titanium shims.

When I replace the lines, I'm obviously going to flush my system. I have an opened liter of ATE Type 200 sitting on my shelf. I completely forgot I had it. I had to use a tiny bit in my VIII when I replaced those lines.

I have some motul RBF600 that will be here thursday, but I'd like to use up this ATE I have. Think it's any good or should I just toss it and use the motul?

Pretty sure that the shelf life on an open bottle of brake fluid is like two weeks. I would recommend using the Motul!

Gotcha, thanks guys. Think I could use the ATE 200 in my wife's OZ? I just hate to be wasteful... haha . If not, no worries.
