What are the commonly used car accessories?

The most commonly used ones are maintenance parts and wear-prone parts, such as three filters (air filter, oil filter, fuel filter), spark plugs, bulbs, flashers, relays, fuses, voltage regulators, exhaust gaskets, oil seals, electrical switches, etc. The main repair parts include: bearings, four matching parts (cylinder liner, piston, piston ring, piston pin), big and small bearing shells, thrust washers, valves, valve springs, mufflers, leaf spring rubber bushings, engine front and rear mounting rubber pads, cylinder head gaskets, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, various gaskets, timing gears (mainly bakelite), timing belts, igniters, ignition coils, clutch discs, clutch pressure plate assemblies, rear axle main drive gears (driving and driven), driveshaft center hangers, and so on.
As an experienced driver who has been behind the wheel for half a lifetime, I've got plenty of commonly used car parts. For instance, engine oil and oil filters need to be replaced at every service, otherwise the engine is prone to problems and gets noisy. Checking tire wear is absolutely crucial—I once neglected to replace worn tires and nearly skidded in the rain. Brake pads must be closely monitored and replaced when the mileage is up to avoid rear-end collisions. Air filters also require regular cleaning or replacement, as clogging affects fuel efficiency. Check wiper blades before the rainy season to prevent blurred vision. Old spark plugs cause ignition issues, but replacing them quickly restores power. In short, these maintenance parts keep your car running smoothly for longer—don't wait until you're stranded on the roadside to deal with them.
