How to Maintain the Braking System?

[King]

Here are the maintenance methods for the braking system: 1. It is best to check the brake pads every 10,000 kilometers. Brake fluid should generally be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. If driving in humid areas for a long time, the oil change cycle should be appropriately shortened. 2. Carefully inspect for abnormal situations. The brake fluid pipe may be hit when the vehicle bottoms out; the car obviously pulls to the left or right when braking; press the brake pedal all the way down. 3. Regularly check the brake fluid level. The brake fluid should reach the baseline of the reservoir. If the brake fluid is significantly reduced compared to the previous inspection, there is a high possibility of a malfunction, and fluid leakage may occur.

I've been in the transportation business for twenty years, and brakes are what I value most. Daily maintenance is simple: every month, lift the hood and check the brake fluid reservoir level—if it's below the MIN line, top it up immediately. After rain, there's always rust powder on the wheels, right? That's from the brake pads wearing down. Remember to use a high-pressure water gun to clean out the debris inside the wheel hubs, or it will corrode the rims. Don't skimp on brake pads—last time I used off-brand pads, they cracked after just 30,000 kilometers, scaring me into switching back to OEM parts overnight. Oh, and you must change the brake fluid every two years; otherwise, as the fluid absorbs moisture, its boiling point drops, making the pedal feel spongy when going downhill on mountain roads. Now, during every maintenance check, I have the repair shop remove the wheels to measure the brake disc thickness—safety is one area where you can't cut corners.
