Parts Replacement Interval

For optimal performance of your vehicle, parts replacement is recommended as an important aspect in proper car maintenance.

Air Con Filter

• Filter away dust, pollutants bacteria and other harmful elements from external air for a cleaner cabin air
• Ensure cleaner and fresher cabin air by reducing odour, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide
• Clogged air filter will negatively impact the health and comfort for you and your passengers
• Replace every 20,000 km or once a year to prolong the lifespan of the cooling coil

Oil Filter

• Maintain the correct oil pressure, flow volume and filter out foreign particles and debris from entering the engine oil
• Clogged oil filter may lead to oil starvation, resulting in friction between engine parts to cause engine failure
• Replace with every oil change

Air Filter

• Prevent dust and other foreign particles in the air from entering the engine
• Clogged air filter results in poor engine performance and increase fuel consumption
• Replace every 20,000 km

Spark Plug

• Ignite a mixture of air and fuel to create engine power
• Worn out spark plug leaves fuel unburned, hence increasing fuel consumption, unstable running and engine to misfire
• Replace every 40,000 km. For Platinum spark plug, replace between every 80,000 km to 100,000 km

Fuel Filter

• Trap and prevent large particles in the fuel from getting into the engine and cause serious engine damage
• Replace where applicable to prevent choked filter, which can lead to engine stalling

Battery

• A physical reserve of energy used to power the vehicle during ignition and provide energy for the on-board systems
• Battery has to comply with manufacturer’s specifications
• Check every servicing and replace when necessary

Brake Pads and Discs

• Enable vehicle to slow down or stop when hydraulic brakes are applied
• Worn brake pads may cause loss of braking power and is dangerous to you and your passengers
• Visual check is usually sufficient or both brake pads and brake discs
• To check on the rear drum brakes, removal of wheels is essential

Transmission Filter

• Transmission will wear and create metal particles and band material. The filter holds these and prevents them from being recirculated throughout the transmission
• Replace when applicable

V-Belt/Serpentine Belt

• To drive the water pump, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and alternator
• Recommended to change when:
• There are more than four cracks in the belt per inch
• Any single crack is more than half the depth of the belt
• Between 40,000 km – 60,000 km since last replaced

	Air Filter Prevent dust and other foreign particles in the air from entering the engine Clogged air filter results in poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption Replace every 20,000km.
	Spark Plug Ignite a mixture of air and fuel to create engine power Worn out spark plug leaves fuel unburned, hence increasing fuel consumption, unstable running and engine to misfire Replace every 40,000 km. For Platinum Spark Plug, to replace between 80,000 km to 100,000 km
	Fuel Filter Trap and prevent large particles in the fuel from getting into the engine and cause serious engine damage. Fuel filter for Diesel to replace every 20,000km. Fuel filter for Petrol to replace every 30,000km. Replace fuel filter at recommended intervals to prevent choked filter which can lead to engine stalling.
	Battery A physical reserve of energy used to power the vehicle during ignition and provide energy for the on-board systems. Checked every servicing schedule. Most Important: Battery has to comply with manufacturer’s specifications.
	Brake Pads and Brake Discs Enable vehicle to slow down or stop when hydraulic brakes are applied Worn brake pads may cause loss of braking power and is dangerous to you and your passenger Visual check is usually sufficient for both brake pads and brake discs.
