As per driving conditions .but 2 years or 8oooo kms.
Graphite is used as a dry lubricant and steel hardener and for brake linings and the production of "lead" in pencils
On my 2007 Sonata I had to replace the brake pads and rotors at 57000 miles.
Depends on driving habits- Highway 30-40,000 Around city 15-25,000 Average
Brake jobs are not a job to be done without a Manual.Your life and the lives of others and the life of your Automobile depend on them. Please purchase a [http://www.themotorbookstore.com/index.html Paper Repair Manual] OR a [http://www.themotorbookstore.com/manuals-on-cd.html CD Repair Manual] and do the Job correctly.
Life's drum
It's quite cheap and easy to create a mechanical connection (typically, a wire that is pulled by a lever) that will hold drum brakes in a "tight" position. That's because brake shoes require relatively little force to push or pull them against the drum ... any turning motion of the drum will tighten them automatically once the shoes come in contact with the drum. Disc brakes, on the other hand, require more pressure to activate because they are squeezing a rotor and there is no "assist" from the rotor's motion. Also, a disc brake pad is pushing, not pulling (one of the pads is typically fixed), and it would be more difficult to design a secondary pushing mechanism that works with a hydraulic caliper. Finally, a parking brake system powerful enough to push a pad against the disk might also be strong enough to warp the disk (if the disk was held in the same position for days or weeks) So the easiest and cheapest way is usually to use a small drum brake at the middle of the rear disc brakes. The parking brake shoes will typically last the life of the vehicle (unless you habitually drive with your parking brake on!)

The disc brake pads usually last 40,000 to 50,000 miles under normal conditions. The rotors should last for 2 brake jobs unless they have been run metal to metal.
After your brake pads have been replaced, scroll to the brake pad life display. On the brake pad life display hold the scroll button in until the brake pad life goes to 100 percent.
Remove the wheel, from the car. Remove the brake caliper, from the rotor. Check the rotor, for grooving,glazing, and warpage, also thickness. If any of this is present, have the rotor turned, or replaced. Then replace the brake pads, with new ones. Make sure the brake pads are compatible with the rotors that you are using.
