There’s an unmistakable feel when you drive a Subaru car, from the perfectly balanced all-wheel drive system to the responsive, engaging engine. When you switch out Subaru parts with aftermarket replacements, it’s easy to lose that trademark ride—and that’s just the start of the issues aftermarket parts can cause. Avoid these issues with OEM parts from Mid-Hudson Subaru.
What Are OEM Parts?
OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts are exactly the same parts that were under the hood when your car rolled off the factory line. Unlike aftermarket parts, they’re designed specifically for your Subaru model, meaning they always give an exact fit and are built to the Subaru brand’s high standards.
What Are the Advantages of OEM Parts?
Because they’re designed with many types of engines in mind, aftermarket parts often provide an imperfect fit, which can cause unnecessary friction when the parts are in motion. Not only do OEM parts avoid this, they tend to perform better over time. Plus, since aftermarket parts are designed to be installed on older cars, they often don’t last as long, whereas OEM parts should last as long as the original part did.
Do I Need OEM Parts for My Warranty?
OEM parts are not required to keep your warranty active. However, it’s important to note that if you do have issues down the road and it’s found to be caused by an aftermarket part, your warranty may not cover it. Not only will your Subaru warranty cover an issue caused by an OEM part, these parts also often come with their own warranty for even more coverage.
