Personally, I would do it every year or so, but I don't have any real data to support it. I definitely wouldn't let it go for 4 years.

To me, vehicle maintenance is much more important if you plan to keep the vehicle for a long time. The only maintenance I do is to change the oil, but I would not keep a vehicle for more than 100K miles or so.
