I usually try to check things at least once a month. But when I am in possession of a car, I always seem to be doing something under the hood, whether it be maintenance or upgrading shit. Anytime I happen to have the hood up I check everything out, mainly cause it's convienient.

Once a week when I wash it. I don't need to check it though, I already know what the levels are going to be like.

+1, I don't usually check tire pressure more than once a month though. I think I've heard once a week should be the norm. Key words there are should be.

check oil and tire pressure just about everytime I fill up on gas. Change oil every 3k miles almost religiously. diff, tranny brake and clutch fliuds twice a year. Coolant once a year

tire pressure depends on how often i drift, normally 2-3 times a week though if not more. fluids at least once a week.
