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

Air Conditioner 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 con filter will negatively impact the health and comfort of you and your passengers
  • Replace every 20,000 km or once a year to prolong the lifespan of the cooling coil

Oil Filter

  • Maintain 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 increased 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 80,000 km to 100,000 km

Fuel Filter

  • Traps and prevents 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 for 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 where applicable

V-Belt/Serpentine Belt

  • To drive the water pump, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and alternator

  • Recommended to change when:

    1. a. 

      There are more than four cracks in the belt per inch

    2. b. 

      Any single crack is more than half the depth of the belt

    3. c.
