Definitely. Especially the oil and the radiator. This is particularly important if you have an older vehicle, which is more susceptible to problems. I try to emphasize this point to my 18-year-old daughter who now has a car at college. I can't be there to be checking it all the time. I had problems with my own vehicle, a 7-year-old Jeep Wrangler, last winter. I was losing antifreeze/water. First, it was the water pump. Then it was discovered the head was warped and antifreeze was going into the engine. If I hadn't been watching the situation closely, I would have been buying a new engine instead of paying for relatively minor repairs. On most vehicles, you have a reserve tank for the radiator, and you can tell by looking at that if you are losing fluid. The windshield washer fluid is important, but it's not like you are going to wreck your engine if you run out.
I always check the fluid levels in my vehicles. It's very important to check, and keep an eye on your oil & coolant levels when the engines cold. You don't have to do it every single day, but keeping an eye on it, on a regularly basis is a good idea. Keep on hubbing
Yes. Checking car fluids is easy, and could prevent a large repair bill down the road. Checking the fluids before a long trip could also prevent a very inconvenient and costly breakdown in the middle of nowhere.

Sexting – Do you check your Teens Mobile text messages?Sexting is on the increase. A situation where teens send/receive sexual images of themselves…. particularly on social sites. (In UK, a video called “Exposed” has been produced to guard against it.)

When you log into HP for the first time in a day, what do you look for first? Stats, comments, other posts, what?I look at the comments next to my userpic so that if I am able I can reply to that first. Then I look at the most recent notifications. After that I switch over to HP email.

How Often Should One Check The Adsense Earnings? Can One Get Banned For Checking Every Hour?Can they think that if one log in the account obsessively, such a person might be up to something and refuse you earnings for all that period?

How often should you check your car oil?I do mine weekly but I have friends that do every month or two. I feel that is too long and a replacement engine is costly.

I can't stress enough the importance of checking your hubs weekly for any needed editing. Since the change in ad size, formatting and attractiveness of your hub may have changed. The products advertised seem to change more frequently as well, often having nothing to do with your hub.Of course, you...
