VW special lubricant (Dupont Krytok)

Does this stuff have a shelf life?  Most lubricants do.

According to the instructions there is no shelf life

IMO it may be prudent to buy the pucka VW stuff, rather than some stuff from the bay that you can't verify the history of.  I will keep in the house too, nice and dry.

Opened containers could be contaminated with moisture or
dirt and should be used with caution if their storage history is
unknown. If containers of Krytox® lubricants are clean,
uncontaminated, and have been stored so that oil loss is
minimized, they are safe for use because the oil and
thickener do not degrade over time.

cheers Blue for looking at your bottles though.  i don't think we have seen the last of the bad weather, and will start the rubber conditioning process soon.  TBH I only had one instance at work, where the temp was low, and the door stuck slightly.

I do use the proper stuff on my rubbers, the cheap ebay stuff goes on the wifes and on my boot rubbers etc, the important rubbers for the scirocco are around the window area. On another note its not just for winter, it eliminates rubber noises and conditions the seals, VW use if a lot for the leaks and squeaks on the EOS roof apparently.
