I change my needle at the beginning of each new project, I use a baby food container to keep dull but not broken needles in (for emergency situations). Oil every other bobbin, clean lint and thread at every bobbin change.
On my mid arm-oil every other bobbin, needles at the beginning of each project, sometimes in the middle of a project if I notice the thunking when stitching, clean at every bobbin change and a deep clean at the end of each project.
Had my dsm in in August, and the service tech said he was surprised that there wasn't any cleaning needed.

Singer (circa early 1990's) - I probably don't change the needle as often as I should. I do clean and oil it fairly regularly. It's not a picky machine at all. In fact, it's never even been cleaned professionally, and it still works like a dream. (DH does take it apart and clean it every once in awhile, but technically he's not a sewing machine repairman.) :)
I change the blade on my rotary cutter when it starts getting hard to cut or starts skipping.
