I recently purchased a Ford Ranger and I'm not sure how often I should check and change the brake pads and fluid. Any recommendations?
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on your new Ford Ranger! As a general rule, it is recommended to check your brake pads every 10,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first. It is also important to check your brake fluid level regularly and top it up if needed. As for changing the brake pads, it depends on your driving habits and the type of brake pads you have, but it is usually recommended to replace them every 50,000 km or so. Overall, it is better to be proactive with brake maintenance to ensure safety and avoid larger repair costs in the future.
Hi there, it's important to remember that the condition and maintenance of your brakes play a critical role in the performance and safety of your Ford Ranger. I recommend inspecting your brake pads and fluid every time you get an oil change or at least every 6 months. If you notice any unusual noises or vibrations while braking, it's best to have a professional mechanic check it out. Remember, safety always comes first!
