This is something I question a bit.
If I have an empty system and a full bottle, then open
the bottle and fill the system, the two "systems" would
start acucmulating water at the same time.
Since the bottle seals and the system as a breather, I
would surmise that the bottle would actually do slightly better
at keeping the water out.
If nothing else, topping up the system with the fluid
from the bottle should not INCREASE the percent water
content.
If month old fluid on the shelf is garbage, I am not sure
how that prevents month old fluid in the SYSTEM from being
garbage as well.
