How long does a catalytic converter last in a car?

And when should you count on having to replace it? The truth is, on modern vehicles, the catalytic converter should last the life of the car or truck, given an “average” life of about 100,000 miles (160,934 kilometers). Good thing, too, because this auto part uses rare, precious and therefore expensive metals such as gold, palladium or rhodium.

What kind of fuel can I use to clean my catalytic converter?

Fuels and Fuel Additives A different fuel or fuel “additive” may be effective at cleaning out catalytic converter deposits. For example, if you typically fill your vehicle with the cheapest low-octane fuel, try running your vehicle on a few tanks of high-octane fuel.

How does a catalytic converter work in a car?

A catalytic converter reduces the emissions from the engine’s exhaust by means of a chemical reaction. If you split the assembly in half, you’ll have two primary sections. The first one is a catalyst with a combination of platinum and rhodium. It works by breaking down oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into nitrogen and oxygen molecules.
