It is often asked, how often is the brake pad replaced?
This is a very difficult question to answer.
The brake pad is not fixed for how long it takes to change it.
It depends on driving conditions and driving habits.
These habits will affect the use of brake pads.
Generally speaking, it takes no problem to use a brake pad for 100,000 kilometers.
If used well, it can even reach 150,000 kilometers.
The only way to change the length of time is,
Through the following timing checks,
If there is a match, it must be replaced immediately.
1
View the thickness of the brake pads
Check if the brake pads and brake discs are thin,
You can use a small flashlight for observation and inspection.
When the inspection found that the black friction material of the brake pad was worn out quickly,
Thickness is less than 5 mm,
It should be considered for replacement.

Brake sound
If during the daily driving process,
The brakes heard a harsh metal whistling sound.
At this time, we must pay attention to it.
This is the alarm iron on the brake pads.
Has started to wear the brake disc,
So there will be such a sharp metal sound.

Brake feel
If you feel very hard when you step on the brakes on the road,
There is always a soft feeling,
Often need to step on the brakes deeper
In order to achieve the previous braking effect,
When the emergency brake is taken, the pedal position is obviously felt to be low.
It may be that the brake pads have basically lost friction.
It must be replaced at this time.
Otherwise it will cause a serious accident.
In addition, the brake effect is reduced, resulting in increased brake oil consumption.
Therefore, while replacing the brake pads
Focus on checking the brake oil.
Of course, this method needs to rely on your driving experience for many years.

Brake disc indicator alarm
If the brake pads are with induction wires,
A red word "Please check the brake pads" will appear in the general alarm.
Then there is an icon, a circle,
The outside is surrounded by several dotted brackets.
It is quite dangerous when the warning light is on.
Because there are some warning systems
Directly sense the thickness of the brake pads,
Some are in the brake pads have been completely polished,
The brake oil is therefore extremely degraded,
Will the warning light be illuminated.
