Here are some parts of the car which require maintenance and sometimes replacement
Oil and oil filter
The thing that needs the most frequent replacement is the oil in the engine and the oil filter. The oil filter prevents dirt, dust, and other particles from entering the engine. All these particles keep getting mixed in the oil. Making the oil dirty and also affecting the performance of the vehicle. Oil is the lubricant that provides the right amount of friction for the engine parts to work properly. If the oil is dirty or less in amount, then the car may start acting up and not work properly. We recommend to change the oil of your car every 3000 miles.
When you go to the auto repair garage to get your car’s oil changed, you can ask the mechanic to check and change any other part that needs replacement as well.
Air Conditioning
An air conditioner can survive up to a year. But you don’t need to change the air conditioner yearly. It might just need service and it will be good as new. The dust and debris can make it clogged which would be removed just by servicing, but if the air conditioner stops working and cannot be treated then it is necessary to get it changed. You can tell when the ac isn’t working properly if the air that’s coming out is not very cold.
Air Filter
Air filter’s job is to prevent the debris, dust, and other environmental contaminants from entering. It does save the car, but all these contaminants keep getting clogged in the filter. This is why it needs to be changed often. If you don’t change the filter, then it affects the performance of the car as well. It is suggested to change it yearly or after every 20,000 km/s are driven.
Battery
The battery is one of the main parts of the vehicle. It needs to be taken care of. You can suffer if the battery of your car is old. It would fail in the middle of nowhere. So you need to keep an eye on the battery’s condition. It is recommended to change the battery of the car every 4 years; it doesn’t matter how many miles it has been driven. If you live in a hot tropical climate, then you need to change your car’s battery every 3 years.
Brake Pads
Brake pads are used to stop the vehicle. It is recommended to change them every 3 years, although the replacement can depend on the size of the vehicle. Brake pads of heavier vehicles wear out sooner than smaller vehicles. If the brakes are not changed when required, they can cause a safety hazard. The repair cost depends on the amount of damage that has been done. The severe the damage, the higher the bill.
Tires
The tires are one of the main components of a car. If they are not of good quality, they would wear out soon and would need a replacement. Generally, tires need replacement every 5 to 7 years. The survival of tires depends on many aspects. One of them is how the car is driven. If you drive your car rashly, then the tires would wear out a lot sooner.
Clutch
Clutch can last up to 100,000 km/s. The life span of a clutch also depends on the driver and the way he drives. If a person drives very aggressively then the clutch might wear out sooner and need replacement.
The signs that you need to replace your clutch are:
- A strong burning smell:
- Having difficulty when changing gears:
- Visibly damaged
