I check oil before I start it for the day. I do not check it again through the day.

I am old school. I check on first startup for the day. Engine , diff ,and radiator fluid, I have had leaks in all three that needed watching. Power steering is once a month.
Also when getting on a strange vehicle, ESPECIALLY a hire machine. I have found low oil and saved myself a load of hassle.

I check it & all the fluids every time before I start it up.

Every other use except if it's long day in the seat,also check engine and ground for leaks.

About as often as I check the oil in my truck. Neither of them leak or burn oil, so almost never.

I check the bar oil in my chainsaw something like 8 times a day (when I'm using it.) I'm compulsive about it. I always want to run out of gas before bar oil.

Every so often. Only vehicle that seems to use a tiny bit of oil is the Mazda3. Check all of them once in a blue moon.

Persistence in checking fluid levels and looking underneath for leaks can save you a huge repair bill down the road. All my tractors get a check of all fluid levels before I start them, no matter what and TIRE PRESSURE get's checked at least weekly, some thing that most owners never bother with but in my ag application tire pressure impacts ground compaction so I check it often.

Outta sight and outta mind can cost you dearly.
