Whether driving a fancy vehicle or a regular car, maintaining it should be every car owner’s concern.
Occasionally, replacing car parts prevents them from completely breaking down over time and keeps your car safe without running into any issues that could harm your car. Replacing the pieces could even enhance the car’s performance and lengthen its lifespan.
Some parts require more maintenance than others, so it’s essential to know which components need replacement and when to replace them.
While some pieces can live up to 5 or 6 years, some tend to have a shorter lifespan, reaching 3 to 6 months before causing severe damage to your car.

- Spark Plugs
Spark plugs activate your car engine using a spark generated by the ignition system. Hence, they must be in their best shape before going on a long ride.
In general, spark plugs last eight years without problems, but if you’re having suspicions of a damaged or worn-out plug, don’t hesitate to have them checked.
Damaged spark plugs could lead to oil leakage, engine misfire, weakened engine power, and in the worst-case scenario, engine failure.
- Fuel Pump
The fuel pump transfers gas to the engine, which makes it very susceptible to damage caused by internal and external conditions. It is one of the most critical components to take care of for it to last a lifetime.
Even though the fuel pump usually doesn’t need replacement, damages from bad driving habits
– such as running the car with little fuel left or overexerting the engine by accelerating at high speeds for long periods- deteriorate the battery’s lifespan at a faster pace.
Your fuel pump should stay functional at all times as long as you avoid these mistakes.
- Engine Oil
Motor oil lubricates the car engines, which is why you need to replace it often to keep the car engine operating efficiently.
Its primary function is to reduce friction caused by the rubbing engine parts, prevent oxidation and corrosion, and filter harmful particles caused by external conditions and wear and tear.
You should change your engine’s oil every 3 to 4 months. It would be best if you change it sooner than later, as your engine could be in serious trouble if your car doesn’t receive its oil change in due time.
- Battery
Your battery is your number one priority; it’s essentially the car’s powerhouse. Without it, the vehicle would be nothing but a bunch of metal sitting around.
While high temperatures could diminish a battery’s lifespan, low temperatures could also lead to battery failures. Corrosion also affects the battery, and preventing it is necessary to keep the battery functioning properly.
Depending on your environment, your battery needs replacement every 3 to 5 years or less if you live somewhere that’s too hot or cold.
- Tires
Keeping your tire’s pressure at the right level and using the right type for each season is vital, as neglecting your tires could lead to nasty consequences.
If you are going to change your tires, you must first know which type of tires are compatible with your car and in what weather you’re driving to ensure a smooth trip.
Tires usually reach around 5 to 7 years, but you might want to change them sooner when they show signs of damage or wear and tear. However, it’s best if you stay away from driving on snow and ice to prevent friction and loss of traction.
