On the long road of struggling for life, sometimes in a whole day, trucks spend more time with drivers than drivers’ families. Therefore, for many truck drivers, trucks have long been more than just a pure money-making tool. In countless days and nights of hard work, it has become our close friends who live together day and night. We cherish this special friendship, just like caring for a trustworthy "big friend". We take good care of it for only one purpose: to let it walk side by side with us for a longer time and brave the vicissitudes of life together.

Today, Hantang Machine specially brings you a little knowledge about the replacement cycle of truck wearing parts, hoping to help you better understand our truck friends and make this company longer and more solid.

No.	Part Name	Replacement Recycle	Broken Parts’ Picture	Our New Parts’ Picture
1	Air Filter	Under normal circumstances, the air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers, or every six months to one year. If the driving environment is harsh, such as dusty and muddy roads, the replacement cycle may be shorter.When the air filter is obviously dirty in appearance, and the engine power decreases or the fuel consumption increases due to the increase of intake resistance, it should be replaced.
2	Oil Filter	Replace the oil filter at the same time every time the oil is changed. Usually, trucks drive about 5,000 kilometers to 10,000 kilometers to change the oil, so the oil filter is basically changed within this mileage range or at the corresponding time, depending on the quality of the oil and the use environment.It can also be judged according to the quality and usage of engine oil. If high-quality all-synthetic engine oil is used and the road conditions are good, it can be appropriately extended to about 12,000 kilometers to replace the oil and filter; If ordinary engine oil is used or the road conditions are bad and it starts and stops frequently, it may need to be replaced at 8000 kilometers or even less.
3	Fuel Filter	The diesel filter is generally replaced every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers. If the fuel quality is poor, the replacement cycle may be shortened.If you often drive in an area with unstable oil quality, or find that the engine power decreases, fuel consumption increases, and it is difficult to start, you should check the fuel filter in advance, and it may need to be replaced about 10,000 kilometers.
4	Brake Pads	The replacement time of brake pads depends on driving habits and road conditions. Generally speaking, truck brake pads can be used for about 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, but if they are heavily loaded, braked frequently or driven in mountainous areas and other places with complicated road conditions, they may need to be inspected and replaced more frequently, and some may need to be replaced for about 20,000 kilometers.When the brake pad thickness is less than the specified value (usually 2 to 3 mm), it must be replaced.
5	Clutch Plate	Under normal use, the clutch plate can be used for more than 100,000 kilometers. Driving habits of frequent semi-clutch driving and unsmooth gear shifting will greatly shorten the life of clutch plates. Good driving habits can make the clutch plate use more than 100,000 kilometers, while bad driving habits may lead to the need to replace it in 50,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
6	Tires	The service life of truck tires is generally around 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers, or 3 to 5 years. However, if the tire is overloaded frequently, driven in bad road conditions or improperly maintained, the tire wear will accelerate, and it may need to be replaced up to 40,000 to 70,000 kilometers in advance.
7	Wiper Blade	Wiper blades are usually checked once a year. If they are not clean and have abnormal sound when wiping, they need to be replaced in time.Keeping the wiper blade clean and avoiding using the wiper under dry conditions can prolong the service life of the wiper blade. If you often use the wiper in a dusty environment without paying attention to cleaning, the wiper blade may wear out quickly and need to be replaced in time.

It should be noted that the above replacement time is for reference only, and the actual replacement time should be determined according to the specific use of the truck, the manufacturer's suggestion and the results of regular inspection. At the same time, the daily maintenance and inspection of vehicles can find the problems of wearing parts in time, and don't bring unnecessary risks and losses to yourself because of temporary negligence.

Let's pay attention to the replacement of vulnerable parts of trucks and drive safely on every road!
