When it's time to replace worn out parts

[Ungas]

Do you guys opt for the original OEM parts or find cheaper alternatives? When you decide to use replacement parts, do you choose the quality trusted replacement brands or the non-branded China/Taiwan cheaper parts?

[BlueBimmer]

cheaper as long as hindi sobrang chipipay..there r good OEM alternatives for euro or jap cars. for critical parts such as belts, cooling parts etc. its safer to go OEM..

For some parts I go with replacement brands, when I replaced my front shocks I got KYB shocks that are up to OEM specs. Other parts like oil filters and brake pads I also use cheaper replacement brands, but I make sure the parts meet the requirements of my vehicle. For more important parts I would get OEM/Honda though.

depende talaga.

kung critical yung part, then i go OEM. examples of these are the engine support and sensors. wala atang hindi OEM/casa na sensor unless you risk buying surplus from chop chop cars.

some non OEM parts are better. like for suspension, i went for Old Man Emu shocks and Super Pro bushings.

others like mufflers, rims, tires, spark plugs, wipers, weather strips, rain gutters, light bulbs, stereo/HU, speakers, air filters, air intake manifolds and the like are better kung outside sa Casa mo kukunin

Aside from the spark plugs and air filter, OEM for now.

ako depende, pag moving parts, i usually go orig. Mahirap na...

pag mga di kasing essential sa quality like bushing, eng support, belts, replacements na OEM specs will suffice.

[chain]

pag kayang orig, then I go for orig.. but like some of what was mentioned above, I think I can opt for better aftermarket parts if possible.

[ssaloon]

for me it depends on which parts are to be replaced... kung mga timing belt, tensioner bearings, etc, i go OEM. anything else, quality replacement parts nako.
