True the level goes down as the pads wear but that means nothing as far as air getting into the master cylinder, at least on the older vehicles. If you look at the majority of older vehicles they had a rubber seal with a bellows in the chamber. It's design was to seal the chamber as well as to allow the area in the top of the chamber to fill with air without touching the fluid because of the bellows design. The fact that many new style chamber don't have this feature tells me that for every step forward most car mfgs make they also take at least one other step back. Not this fact could possibly be a cause for concern for a vehicle in a humid climate, especially if it's not driven enough to heat the fluid and burn off the moisture. Still considering the lifespan of most new cars I simply can't see where any problems would be encountered before the brakes needed to be changed, etc. In other words, just like my origional post to this topic, I'm not saying the fluid will neve get dirty and need changing, especially in todays not so sealed systems, but it shouldn't ever get dirty enough to justify having the system flushed just for the sake of doing it.
