I do check it once a fortnight (i.e. once every 300 miles), though. And as per my other post, use what it says in the manual.

We were all scoffing and guffawing in the canteen at work over the fact that one of our cow-orkers has to have his Evo FQ300 (very nice motor, if not exactly easy on the eye) serviced every 4.5K...
