How dare you recommend a wallet flush?!?!But of course this is BITOG where people brag about changing oil every 2k but also about never changing brake fluid. So who knows.

I've never been satisfied with the results of turned rotors. And it is getting very difficult to find shops who still do it. The economics just aren't if favor of it.Because they're like $75 for new, OE ones. If they are in great shape and can be turned, then by all means, do that. But that is not free either, requires additional trip(s) to a shop, etc.

Having worked in manufacturing almost my entire career before retiring, I am all about PM. But smart PM does not involve replacing items when they still have, say 70% or 80% of it's life left. A good PM plan will include collecting data, to determine MTBF, using statistics to find a safety margin, that will reduce waste from replacing parts too soon, yet also reduce the risk of lost productivity from equipment failure.
Have you ever measured a rear rotor on a Toyota/Honda product after the original set of rear pads? Those pads utilize adherent friction and there is almost no rotor wear.You genuinely believe a rotor with 100k miles on it has 70-80% of life left? I would say that would be a very unique situation.

I don't remember if he said which .The OP's vehicle is a Mazda CX-9, and no mention of front or rear.
That's new to me. Would you be kind enough to explain adherent friction? Thanks!Have you ever measured a rear rotor on a Toyota/Honda product after the original set of rear pads? Those pads utilize adherent friction and there is almost no rotor wear.

That was very helpful. The Camry will need brakes soon (4+mm pad material before the Chicago trip) so the info was timely as well. Thanks!Brake Pad Friction
For the brakes to function, the rotors and pads have to wear. Even a brake rotor's metallurgy can determine how a pad wears. For import nameplate vehicles, the chemistry of the pads is part of the equation that determines how the brakes feel and perform.www.import-car.com
That may explain why the rotors on my wife's Outback have worn so little. Thanks for the info.Have you ever measured a rear rotor on a Toyota/Honda product after the original set of rear pads? Those pads utilize adherent friction and there is almost no rotor wear.
