Replacement cycle of common auto parts
2019-07-30
Shock Absorber
Original Shock Absorber drives at least 150 thousand kms or 5 years. Even aftermarket can also drives 100 thousand kms.
Engine oil
As the most common maintenance item, the oil change cycle is about 5000km for semi synthetic oil and 10000 km for full synthetic oil.
Oil filter
The oil filter is used to remove dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, soot particles and other impurities in the engine oil. It is generally replaced around 10000 km.
Air filter
The air filter is the filter device before the air enters the cylinder to prevent the engine from sucking in a large amount of air containing dust and particles, resulting in serious wear of the engine cylinder. The air filter is usually replaced at 10000-20000 km, and a better one can be used at 30000-40000 km.
Gasoline filter
The main function of gasoline filter is to remove impurities in gasoline. Generally, the paper filter element gasoline filter which can not be removed and washed at one time has a replacement cycle of 10000 km. The built-in type can be used for 50000-60000 km.
Spark plug
Spark plug is the ignition device of gasoline. According to different types, platinum spark plug can be used for 50000-60000 km, and iridium spark plug can be used for 100000 km.
Tyre
Tyres are the "feet" of people, which are very important for vehicle driving safety. Generally speaking, the service life of tyres is 5 years or 50000-80000 km. Different brands and models of tires have different service life due to different wear resistance. For example, Michelin and Ma brand are relatively wear-resistant, Goodyear, Bridgestone and some domestic tires are relatively wear-resistant, so they can be replaced as appropriate according to the tire wear.
Transmission oil
Gearbox oil is a maintenance item that is easy to be ignored. Gearbox oil plays the role of cleaning, lubrication and heat dissipation. The replacement cycle of gearbox oil of manual gearbox is longer than that of automatic gearbox, because the internal structure of manual gearbox is relatively simple than that of automatic gearbox. Generally, the manual transmission oil will be changed for about 5 years or 100000 km, and the automatic transmission oil for about 3 years or 60000 km.
Brake pads
The general disc brake pads are replaced about 30000 km.
Brake fluid
Brake oil, also known as brake fluid, is the liquid medium that transmits the brake pressure in the hydraulic brake system. However, the brake oil is easy to be mixed with rain, resulting in the braking force of the brake system to decline, so it is better to change the brake oil once every two years or 60000 km.
