At least once a year or whenever you change oil (every 3,000 miles)?

They should make a little noise, if not they are more likely to burn.

I agree with Tim, every 3 or 4 thousand miles, and if they ever sound suspiciously loud or quiet in between then.

Read the shop manual, and with the engine hot after a minimum 20 or 30 minute drive adjust them closer to the fat side of the recommended range.
