As a manufacturer, we stipulate a **lower tube service** interval of 100hrs. A full rebuild, however, is not part of a routine/regular service and not bound to a fixed time interval. You only need to do it, if something is not working properly anymore, hydraulically. When customers ask me personally, I'll tell them to do a first lower tube service after like 2-3 months and there is no need for service parts at that time. Just take off lower tube, clean, regrease, put back together, then beer. If all looks good, then extend service intervals. A lower tube service takes literally less than 10 minutes and can be done from anyone who has not two left hands. Posts are often forgotten when it comes to service, and while one post can survive without service for several years, another might be rotten/corroded within weeks just because one forgot to drain the water off his frame after a wash.A lower tube service takes literally less than 10 minutes and can be done from anyone who has not two left hands.

So I can only advice to take out your post once in a while a do a quick clean and regrease of the lower tube. It should be more often than you service your fork or shock (I do not bring these to service every 100 hrs \*duckandrun\*), because posts (any post) are naturally not sealed from environments, as a fork or shock is. Posts have breathing ports to allow for air go in and out of the lower tube during drop/extension.
