Once a week? Someone has too much time on their hands.

I don't check it as often as I should maybe, but if you checked it every month or two, I would think that would be sufficient. It doesn't get used up, so you usually only need to refill it if you have a problem. Just make sure you flush the systems when you are supposed to.

coolant I check almost daily, but I have a leak so that makes sense. I do a full fluid check every month.

LOL, I knew ARIF wouldn't like that. If I had all that stuff on my car, I would probably check it out a lot more often too.

Coolant and other unimportant fluids are checked maybe once a month. Battery electrolyte level I check twice a day.
