Are Original Equipment Manufacturer Parts the Same as Factory-Installed Parts?
1 Answers
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts are the same as factory-installed parts. OEM parts are those produced and supplied by the manufacturer, while factory-installed parts are those installed on the vehicle during assembly. Their manufacturing processes and procedures are identical, with no differences whatsoever. OEM Parts: These parts are produced by the manufacturer's regular suppliers and are not the original parts used in the vehicle. However, they are made by the same manufacturer as the original parts and are sold in the market, including branded parts and replicas. OEM parts are the same as those used in the original vehicle. Apart from the OEM parts used when the vehicle is first manufactured, the parts available at 4S stores are also OEM parts, ordered directly from the manufacturer. Factory-Installed Parts: These are the parts that come with the vehicle. The manufacturer's regular parts are exactly the same as the factory-installed parts. In fact, these are the true original parts of the vehicle. The original parts are not actually produced by the vehicle manufacturer but are processed and manufactured by suppliers according to the manufacturer's requirements. Of course, the manufacturer has strict requirements when selecting parts suppliers, as the quality of the parts directly affects the quality of the vehicle, and ultimately, it is the automaker that suffers the consequences.
