AND you must change the fluid every few years to remove the puddled water 
from the low spots, or you will have corrosion.  Silicone does not remove 
water from the air, and you can't prevent water from getting into the system. 
 The MC cap is vented.

No matter what brake fluid you use, it should be changed every few years.

Safety Fast!
