It depends on the quality of the putty and the technician's skill. If high-quality putty is used and the technician is highly skilled, it can last for more than 5 years. However, if the putty is too thick or the technician's skill is poor, cracking may occur within as little as half a year. Since putty contains moisture, environmental temperature also affects its stability. Therefore, it is advisable to seek professional repair shops for painting to avoid bigger issues later. Below are the reasons why putty is needed before painting: 1. To fill small dents on the body panels: preventing uneven surfaces or bubbles after painting. 2. To enhance the vehicle's appearance: making its shape look better.

How Often Should Power Steering Fluid Be Replaced?

Power steering fluid is generally recommended to be replaced every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers, or every 2 years, whichever comes first. It should be inspected every six months, and replenished promptly if any loss is detected. When checking the power steering fluid, the primary indicator for replacement is the change in fluid color. Normal power steering fluid should be bright red and transparent with a slightly reddish hue. If the fluid appears cloudy or blackened, it needs to be replaced. The power steering fluid reservoir usually allows visibility of the fluid level, marked with minimum and maximum indicators. If the level is found below the minimum mark, it is necessary to add the manufacturer-recommended type of power steering fluid.
