I try to do it one every two weeks, that is oil and tyre pressure, check coolant maybe every month, ideally you should be checking your oil every time you refil and after a long drive on a motorway at high speed.

Water & oil should be checked every month or so. Tyre pressure every week or so. These items should be checked during routine servicing. However don't just rely on the regular servicing.
