How Many Kilometers to Replace Brake Pads

[StMax]

Under normal circumstances, the front brake pads should be replaced every 30,000-50,000 kilometers, while the rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000-100,000 kilometers. Notes on brake pad replacement: 1. Based on mileage: For household cars, you only need to consider replacing brake pads after driving 30,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Generally, the front brake pads wear faster than the rear ones, so you can check the front brake pads first during inspection. 2. Dashboard: The car dashboard has a brake pad warning light. When this warning light comes on, the brake pads are no longer usable, so you should check them in advance. 3. Thickness: To determine whether the brake pads need replacement, check their thickness. During maintenance at a 4S shop, ask the mechanic to inspect the brake pad thickness. They should be replaced when worn down to 0.5 millimeters.
