Every time I check my oil. About once every 3 months although if you dont run you car as hard as I do you can probably get by with twice a year.

I've been checking it everytime I get the oil changed (Q-Lube won't do it) and I flush it every year or when I get a bug about it.

Kennlee and I have both mentioned flushing. That'* a tad different than changing. We waste oil, but get all the residue and debris out that way. Drain, fill, run. Drain, fill run.

Just pop off the fill screw and make sure the level of the fluid is at the bottom of the threads. If not, add until it is. Change it yearly and it will always be fresh. DO NOT get water in it, i've seen this do very bad things to a snout.
