Should I replace my Changan Oshan X7 brake pads more often due to Pakistani road conditions?

Given the heavy traffic, poor roads, and frequent braking required in Pakistani cities, should I expect to change my brake pads more often than the factory recommendation? What signs should I look for besides squeaking?

Yes, brake pads in Pakistan usually wear out faster than factory estimates due to:

Heavy traffic, frequent stopping

Poor road quality with sudden braking on potholes o r speed breakers

Dusty and hot weather, which affects brake efficiency

For a Changan Oshan X7, factory recommendation might be 30,000–40,000 km, but in Pakistan, pads may need replacing at 20,000–25,000 km, depending on usage. Watch for:

Squeaking o r grinding noises

Reduced braking performance

Brake warning light on dashboard

Always use OEM o r branded high-quality pads, and inspect the brakes during regular oil changes.
