On: How a Car Engine Works

In my limited experience, OEM is horrible, unless it is the only option.

This is funny because there is a brand called "OEM" at parts stores that sells chinese junk.

I am all about finding the original parts that the dealer will sell, but on the aftermarket at reasonable prices.

I meant to say: "horrible" from a value perspective. You can often get >= "OEM quality" parts from 3rd-party vendors at a much lower price than OEM.
