How much do you know about the dangers of counterfeit auto parts?

For car owners, nothing is more important than the health of the car, so waxing and glazing are expensive, but basic car maintenance is often overlooked. Many car owners like to go to auto repair shops such as Auto Parts City to maintain their cars, but they do not know that if they accidentally use fake parts, the car will be seriously damaged. Below are some common differences in quality and performance between genuine and fake.

Air filter
There is little difference in appearance between real and fake parts, but great difference in performance.
(1) From the perspective of filtration performance, the filtration performance of pure brand parts is about 10 times higher than that of knockoff parts!
(2) In terms of size, the size of the pure brand parts is more in line with the specifications of the vehicle than the copycat parts!
(3) In terms of service life, the service life of pure brand parts is twice that of counterfeit parts!
Hazard: Long-term use of a fake air filter will cause a large amount of dust to enter the engine and cause serious damage to the engine.

Brake shoe
(1) Performance comparison: After experiments, the braking distance of the fake brake pads is 30% longer than that of the pure brake pads.
(2) Comparison of heat resistance: Due to poor heat resistance, the friction plate and metal plate fall off for a long time at high temperature, which affects the braking effect.
Hazards: Brake pads are an important part to ensure safe driving for humans. If you use fake brake pads, it is likely to cause the brakes to fail during driving, unable to control the speed of the vehicle, and bring serious consequences.

Spark plug
(1) Thermal conductivity: From the point of view of the center electrode of the spark plug, the center electrode of the pure spark plug is made of copper material, which can achieve the best thermal conductivity. Fake spark plugs are far less thermally conductive than pure parts.
(2) Heat resistance: The heat resistance value of pure spark plugs is 2 times higher than that of false spark plugs.
Hazard: Long-term use of fake and inferior spark plugs may cause the electrodes to melt and damage the engine.

As a consumer, you cannot recognize the obvious difference between fake parts and pure brand parts in appearance, so when purchasing parts, be sure to go to a designated dealer to buy pure brand parts, so that you can use and drive with confidence!
