    at least every other day... its better to be aware of small things that could eventually spell out trouble-i try to check the oil and water level. I also check the hoses.

    I check my fluids almost everyday. Sometimes twice a day if I'm doing some hard or long driving. Better safe than sorry.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    i don't check... car is still relatively new... only time to open the hood is when
    the car is undergoing PMS...


    probably after 5 years saka ko na silipin laman ng hood...

    The above quoted post is one of the signs that you are a certified car nut.

    I just check my fluids once a week or so. Then check if there are some loose wirings or dripping fluid (e.g. leaking valve cover gasket, power steering hose, etc.).

    I think I do it often enough. My 3-year-old son already mastered my routine. He also checks his toy car's engine (with matching slam ng hood) and tires before driving off
