They will change the brake fluid again and re-bleed for £50.

I never saw an HM brake fluid NO additives.
I would think there would be a HUGE liability in producing a brake fluid on the market that does not carry a DOT certification.

Do you folks replace your brake fluid at regular intervals? (Street driven car)
Yesterday was my first time and all I have to say is WOW.
Feels like new brakes.
Amazing what happens to a hygroscopic fluid after a few years.

Safest thing to do re use of proper brake fluid is just buy by Porsche.
I'm out of warranty so my very reliable MB indy and replace if necessary your brake lines.
Think the brake fluid has ever been replaced.
