Default motul brake fluid users .. how often do you change?

given the hygroscopic nature of the fluid and varying track usage .. how many miles between changes?

i live in houston .. a very humid almost rain forest at times climate. i'd like to hit the track at *least* once a month time allowing. is there a general rule of thumb for milage between changes?

tia ppl.

Annually, or sooner if raced & brakes were heated up.

.
I use Castrol SRF, which has a better wet boiling point than Motul, but I still always bleed the brakes before taking the car on the track.

Since you're going to the track once/month, the regular prudent bleeding before each event would substitute very well for a complete brake fluid change.
