    How often should this be done by a mechanic?

    Every time the oil is changed, you'll find the recommended interval in your service book.

    It depends on the manufacturers specifications (The likes of VW / Audi have longlife service intervals),but I would always get mine changed at least once a year or every 10k miles.
