Only use "top quality" fluid (ATE, Motul, Brembo.....) from SEALED containers. Never store bottles that have had the airtight seal opened, even capped, moisture is absorbed.

Having spent over 20 yrs living in Florida (regular heavy rain (daily in the summer)/swamp level humidty 6 mos a yr), and doing fluid flushes every 2 yrs, I've never seen a rusty/frozen caliper piston/stuck ABS module/brake line rust on ANY of my vehicles.

If you live in a rainforest, change it every year.
