How to maintain a car's brake system?

1. To replace the brake pads according to the mileage traveled, the braking effect of a car is ultimately determined by the brake pads, so maintaining the good condition of the brake pads is the most direct maintenance method for the brake system. The brake pads and brake discs (drums) have a lifespan and must be replaced when they are worn to a certain extent. For normal use in urban driving, their lifespan is about 50000 kilometers, and the lifespan of brake pads is about 30000 kilometers. However, the specific situation depends on the operation of the vehicle owner, and it is best to check every 10000 kilometers;

2. Regularly replace brake oil, which is a type of oil that has a significant impact on the brake system, in addition to the brake pads. The key to maintaining a picture album is to ensure that it does not deteriorate, especially to prevent the infiltration of moisture. The brake oil should be replaced every 50000 kilometers of driving. If driving in humid areas for a long time, the oil change cycle should be appropriately shortened;

3. New cars should pay attention to the brake system running-in. During the initial use of new cars, there is a running-in period, and the indispensable part is the brake system running-in. The first 1000 kilometers of the new car's running in is crucial, and the brake system also needs to be worn in. It is best not to have emergency braking situations occur. In order to smoothly run in, the clutch needs to be pressed before applying the brake, but this is only a temporary measure. After 1000 kilometers, in order to extend the service life of the clutch, it is still necessary to "brake first and then release".
