A List of Car Parts Every Owner Needs to Understand

We understand that you didn't go to school to become a mechanic. But there are certain car parts that you should be able to identify and understand since knowing what they do will help keep your car properly maintained and identify potential problems.

1) Air Filter

What it does - Your car's air filter cleans the air before it enters your car's engine, making sure that small particles don't get into important engine components and your vehicle can run smoothly and efficiently.

Why it's important- The air filter needs to be replaced when it becomes dirty, otherwise it could become clogged up, unable to allow the right amount of air to reach your engine, which affects engine performance by adding strain to it. Your vehicle owner's manual will indicate how often you should be changing the air filter, but checking it as frequently as every oil change is a good idea, as some conditions such as dusty roads or smog-filled cities will require more frequent air filter changes.

2) Brakes: Pads, Rotors and Calipers

What they do - Most everyone understands that brakes on a vehicle allows you to slow down and stop. But an automobile braking system is comprised of several parts: the brake pad, the rotor and the caliper. Basically the way it works is this: the brake pads are attached to the caliper, and when you press on your brake pedal and want your car to stop, the caliper presses the brake pads against the each side of the surface of the rotor, which is the disk-like object you see when you take your car's wheel off. Think of it like a sandwich, with a rotor as the meat in the middle, the brake pads as the cheese on each side of the meat and the caliper as the bread pushing the cheese from each side onto the rotor.

Why it's important - Obviously brakes are a major safety concern, but the reason it's so important to understand what these parts do it because there is so much wear put on these parts through everyday use that you will certainly have to replace them at some point and it's important for you to understand which brake component is being replaced. Brake pads are a relatively routine and minor job, but replacing calipers and rotors can get very expensive and it's essential that you understand "why", when a mechanic suggests that you replace yours.

3) Battery

What it does - Automotive batteries are rechargeable batteries that supply electric energy to your vehicle. Car batteries are usually lead-acid type. Without a car battery, your vehicle will not work.

Why it's important - You need to understand where your battery is because at some point it will need to be charged, replaced or both. A good battery can last as long as 5 years, however, depending on usage, temperatures and maintenance may only last as little as 3 years. When replacing a battery, make sure to buy one that fits the vehicle's specifications. A battery seller will have a vehicle guide to help you find the right battery. Don't forget to bring in your old battery for recycling, as you will reduce the harmful impact on the environment and get a little bit of your money back on a refund as well.

4) Oil Filter

What it does - The oil filter eliminates impurities from your engine oil by filtering it and catching microscopic metal shavings and specks of dirt. It's basically like a Brita filter; it allows your engine to use clean filtered oil just like you would want to drink clean filtered water.

Why it's important - Over time, your oil filter will become clogged and ineffective. Once this happens, it will no longer be able to filter clean oil into your engine, and you'll end up using dirty, corrosive oil filled with particles to lubricate your engine. This will eventually lead to a host of problems, including potential permanent engine damage. This is why you must change your oil and filter according the specifications in your car owner's manual.

5) Tires and Spare Tire

What it does - Look at it this way, your tires are literally the only connection between your car and the road. Your spare tire is also your one shot to get out of a flat tire without having to call someone to tow your vehicle away.

Why it's important - Your tires can mean the difference between a safe drive and a dangerous drive. They can mean the difference between poor and optimal gas mileage and the difference between being able to get up that hill in a snowstorm. Regularly checking your tire's tread and pressure is absolutely vital for safe and effective driving. Choosing the proper tires depending on vehicle and season is also pivotal if you live in an area with a harsher climate and rough terrain. Finally, knowing how to use your spare tire and making sure that it too is properly inflated can save you if you're ever stuck on the side of the road.

6) All Fluids

What it does - Your car uses different fluids to run properly. The dipstick allows you to measure the quantity and appearance of various fluids in your vehicle. There are multiple dipsticks, typically for the engine oil, transmission fluid and possibly the power steering fluid. You will also have the ability to check and add brake fluid, coolant and windshield washer fluid.

Why it's important - It's important to keep your fluids filled for your car to function properly. Letting your fluids run out or not changing your oil can lead to extensive vehicle damage. Take out your owner's manual, open the hood of your car and identify where each respective fluid belongs. Keep in mind that each car will have it's own specifications for the fluid that's acceptable for use. Make sure to follow all instructions in the vehicle owner's manual when adding or changing fluids.
