OEM Brake Rotors

Brakes need to generate friction to slow wheels and stop tires spinning. To do it, they press brake calipers to brake rotors, with brake pads in between. The process creates a lot of heat. Brake systems that can't disperse it end up damaged a lot faster. Your brake rotors are what scatter it. Which fit your vehicle, though, depends on what type of rotors it has. Options range from blank & smooth and drilled to slotted and the ultimate heatsink, drilled & slotted. Most cars use either blank & smooth or drilled brake rotors. SUVs and trucks, however, usually use slotted brake rotors. Performance vehicles use drilled & slotted brake rotors most of the time because they run hot. Eventually, however, every kind of rotor wears out, whether from use or with age.

How Often Do Brake Rotors Need to Be Changed?

The answer is at 70,000 miles, and at every 70,000-mile interval after that. If you're trying to determine whether you even need to replace them, though, it's better to look for signs of problems. When a rotor starts to go bad or fail, you'll begin feeling your brakes wobble, hearing odd brake noises, and noticing damaged surfaces. In these cases, change them in pairs to ensure you can keep braking evenly. You can buy what you need right here at our auto parts counter.
