Noob how often do you check you oil
 

I checked mine after 1k and. It looked like normal yellowish color to me.

I got nervous after reading the forums of a dealer not putting in transmission fluid.

So do you check yours every week or do many miles?

I check under my car more often than I check the dip stick. Looking at the oil itself can be helpful when I've blown a gasket, but I honestly don't expect that, so I only look at the dipstick when I change the oil to confirm I've added enough.

Whenever i want to perv on my motor... In my 6 Litre it was often.... Probably even more so when i attach a snail to the 86.. But as b.e stated above its always good to check under the car.... Obviously if there is any leaks thats where u will find it.... Also before and after ever track day.....

You should check your oil level at every fill-up. Monitoring your oil level can help you catch developing problems if you suddenly see higher consumption levels.

I check mine twice a week until about 5000 miles, then once per week.

if its a a new unmodified car under warranty? prolly once a month
once engine/power mods are added i would check more often to make sure nothing is going wrong.

I don't check my oil very often to be honest. About once a month. If the car has been modified, I would definitely check it more due to the aftermarket parts potentially causing problems.

I check my oil every time I fill up at the gas station and also after every service.

Once a month when its cold.

Huh. Checked mine and there wasn't a drop of oil in there. Apparently they filled it with unicorn blood instead? Anyone else run into this? Seems to run fine, in any case.

Who got juked with no tranny fluid?
