OEM parts
Manufacturer-sourced replacement components
OEM parts are components made by the original equipment manufacturer—the company that produced the original parts for a vehicle or device.
When you replace a car's brake pads with OEM parts, you're getting the same parts the manufacturer installed at the factory, as opposed to aftermarket alternatives made by third parties.
OEM parts typically cost more but guarantee compatibility: The mechanic recommended OEM parts for the transmission repair.
