I tried searching, but I'm obviously using the wrong terms. Will someone please point me to the list someone made of all the fluids which can/should be checked on a regular basis?

2021 JLU 2.0T
Weekly:
Engine oil
Coolant level(s) (e.g., the 2.0T has two separate cooling circuits & reservoirs)
Washer fluid
Power steering fluid
Brake fluid...visual only; I prefer not to remove the reservoir cap if it can be avoided
Tire pressure...not strictly necessary if TPMS is working, but I do it anyway

I also examine the appearance of the serpentine belt, and the seams of the engine coolant reservoir, with a flashlight. The latter on a 2.0T is a documented failure point.

When you're feeling froggy:
Transfer case
Axles
Auto transmission (be aware of the temperature range requirement when doing so)
