Something that many people don’t know is that the same manufacturers that make the manufacturer branded parts for your vehicle, also make the aftermarket brands, as well. So as such, in most cases, yes, the quality is the same because the part itself is the same.

The timing belt is a part of your engine that controls the timing of your engine’s intake & exhaust valves. Your timing belt needs to be checked every 25,000 miles, and should be changed every 50,000-70,000 miles. That said, every manufacturer is different. You should consult your owner’s manual to determine the correct replacement interval.

On average, you will use your brakes about 75,000 times per year. Today’s brake systems are hydraulic and use brake fluid which is hydrophilic, which means that it can absorb moisture from the air.

Once the hydraulic system has moisture in it, corrosion starts to take place and brake components can start to fail. Brake fluid should be flushed periodically in order to keep corrosion under control.

This procedure is not expensive and is included in many preventative maintenance schedules. Brake fluid should be handled with care. It will melt plastics and remove paint.
