That means replacing your brake fluid regularly. What interval? That depends on your environment. You need a good seal in the top of your reservoir(s), and where you have to store your car due to cold weather and/or have wet, humid conditions, it will need to be done more often than our friends in Arizona or Alice Springs, Australia! Certainly if your fluid is getting dark, it's time for a change. It's nice to have those semi-transparent reservoirs, but don't wait for that!

If you really want to go crazy there are test strips that measure the amount of moisture in the fluid, I just flush out the MC every other oil change or so.
