Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM KIA

I am driving a 2012 Kia rio hatchback daily. Over the period I did regular maintenance such as oil changes and some minor fluid changes. Changed tires twice and replaced front suspension parts and break pads once over 13 years of ownership.

Genuine Toyota Brake Pads hindi naman araw araw pinapalitan yan and safety ang nakataya dyan. I’m not saying hindi maganda yung mga replacement brands pero by using Genuine Toyota Brake Pads 100% sure ka na ok ang quality yun kasi ang binabayaran sa Genuine parts yung peace of mind na pumasa yung parts nayan sa standards ng Toyota.

Sa mga brake pads specifically may mga replacement brake pads na naninira ng brake rotors.

I have a 2007 Prius. Bought it with 120,000 miles. Got 365,000 on it. Never put brakes on.

I've driven a 2020 Prius Prime for 5 years now. Best car I've ever driven. Through 68,000 kms, I'm averaging 2.0L / 100km's. EV is programmed to not turn on below approx. -20C as a longevity feature. When temperature is below -8 the engine will turn on until warm enough to run EV efficiently.

I have a 2006 4Runner with almost 350,000 miles on it. Solid as a rock. All I do is change the oil and occasionally replace the break pads.

My 2021 is now around 75k miles. I’ve changed the oil, tires and brakes.

For example: my 2007 3MZFE Toyota with 227kmi -- considered one of the most reliable drivetrains ever built -- has required brakes, a wheel bearing, an intake rubber coupler, an alternator, and power steering lines replacement this year alone.

Aftermarket on some newer Kia models can cause judder.

OEM isn’t worth the cost

Just changed a 4Runner with 80k miles, the pads were worn flat all the way down.
