  1. Well, car is nothing but a machine. So off course some parts in a machine need to get replaced in some regular time interval. I know some parts that need regular care and they need to be replaced effectively.

    Brake pads: Because we have bought a car, we will off course drive it in a long course. As we drive the car, the brake pads are in regular progressive work. A time comes when the brake pads get ruined and you need to replace it.

    Disc clutch: If you are driving a manual car, then the clutch disc is always under pressure with constant or increase in the speed. So they tend to wear soon. So they need to be replaced regularly.

    Oil change: Oil change is really crucial in any car. It’s really important to maintain the oil level and oil changing as the viscosity of the oil as well as the purity of the oil decreases with time. So oil change is also essential with time.

    Coolant change: Coolant plays an important role in the engine to maintain the proper balance in the temperature of the car. Same as the oil, the coolant level needs to be maintained as well. Also, have a keen look in your engine for any type of coolant leak.

    Spark Plugs: Spark plugs are really crucial. Some people think that they don’t need any replacement, but it does. The mechanism of the car also includes the proper quality of the spark plugs, so get it replaced whenever required.

    I know these common replacements in the car. And don’t have a misunderstanding that your car is perfect if you never got any of the mentioned things replaced. If you never did any of these replacement, I am sure you are gonna have some real trouble in the car.

  2. Oil viscosity is also main factor in oil leak. One should know what is the viscosity of the oil they are using in their car engine. The suited viscosity of the oil is always mentioned in your car manual, SO always maintain that. Dont put such oil in your car whose viscosity doesnt match with your car engine.

  3. First thing, the mileage of the car.

    Second, make sure the car was never involved in an accident.

    Third, check the insurance history of the car.

    Fourth, the year of manufacturing shall not be more than 5-6 years; otherwise you may end up paying for the maintenance of the car every time.

  4. Can anyone tell me when the catalytic converter is replaced in Prado? I have Prado, 2009 model and I could see the smoke coming out when starting up. Took it to the dealer, and they are saying that they need to replace the catalytic converter. They told me this by an email. Then I asked them you explain me when to replace the catalytic converter. If I am satisfied, I will give you a green signal to do so. But no response yet. If somebody knows about this, please help me. Can anyone tell me when the catalytic converter is replaced in Prado?

  5. I tried a trick on a garage once. I asked some workers in the garage on how to fix a leakage or how to align the tyres and many more. If they are confident and knowledgeable enough, then they will help you in DIY techniques. If they are not professionals, they may just stand and try to answer you in a way that you don't know anything and its not your job to know everything. If you face such an attitude, then they're not good enough to have a professional workshop status in the auto market.
