As we all know, cars need proper maintenance. If they are not properly maintained, there may be potential safety hazards. Generally speaking, newer cars do not need excessive maintenance, but cars that have been driven for two or three years or thousands of kilometers need to replace parts regularly to avoid affecting the performance of the vehicle.
In addition to the common engine oil, which parts need to be replaced? How often?
The first is the filter element, which is often called air filter, gasoline filter and oil filter, which need to be replaced frequently. Among them, the replacement time of air filter is 10000 km, that of gasoline filter is 20000 km, and that of oil filter is 5000 km. These filter elements play a great role, but they are also easy to fail, so they should be replaced in time.
The second is the spark plug, which is a very important and easily damaged part of the car. If there is no habit of replacing the spark plug, the harm is very great, which will not only lead to the difficulty of car ignition, but also lead to the lack of car power and accelerate the formation of carbon deposition.
In addition, it should be noted that the replacement time of spark plug has a great relationship with its material. If it is an ordinary nickel alloy spark plug, it can be replaced every 20000-30000 kilometers. If it is a platinum spark plug, replace it every 60000km. If it is an iridium spark plug, replace it every 80000 kilometers.
Finally, the safety related brake pads. As we all know, brake failure is very bad, and brake pad is one of the most critical safety parts in automobile braking system. Generally, automobile brake pads need to be replaced every 30000-50000 kilometers.
In addition, it should be noted that when the brake warning light on the instrument panel is on, you must immediately replace the brake pads; When the thickness of the brake pad is less than 3mm, the brake pad shall also be replaced immediately. The replacement of brake pads must not be delayed, which will affect driving safety.
