Can I get away with checking my car fluids every two months?

They're usually fine when I check them every one and a half months.

Hi,

If it is unchanged after 1.5 months, chances are it should be fine to check it at 2 months. Just keep in mind, the number of miles is a better indicator as to when checking should be done. I say that because the mileage covered over period of time will vary.

On the other hand, if there is a known issue, that may not be a good idea. LOL

Let me know.
