When Should You Replace Your Wiper Blades? Wiper blades keep your windshield clear, but since they’re made of rubber, they wear out with time and need to be swapped out regularly. How long they last really depends on how often you use them, where you drive, and whether you take care of them. Watch for these signs that indicate it's time for new wipers: Streaking or Noise Notice streaks or that awful squeaking sound? Yep, it’s probably time for a new pair. For a temporary fix, clean the blades with vinegar or alcohol, but replace them as soon as possible. Visible Damage Check the rubber blades regularly for cracks, chips, or deformities. Any damage means it's time for new wipers. Age Considerations Standard wipers typically last 6-12 months High-quality blades with proper care can last 2+ years Frequent use or harsh conditions (sun exposure, dry wiping) may require replacement every 6 months Just a heads-up—if your car sits in the sun a lot or you use your wipers all the time, it’s smart to check them more often. -

Whether I go for OEM or aftermarket parts really depends on how important the part is. For something major like the engine, I usually stick with OEM. But for smaller stuff like wiper blades, I always go aftermarket. -

High-quality wiper blades last longer, so they actually save you money in the long run. -

Yeah, 100%! Swapping out your air filter is a simple way to stay healthy.
