5 Mainly Differences Between OEM Gaskets and Aftermarket Gaskets
Manufacturer
- OEM gaskets are undoubtedly produced by the engine manufacturer.
- Aftermarket gaskets are produced by third-party manufacturers.
Price
- OEM gaskets are priced higher than aftermarket gaskets. However, aftermarket gaskets can offer good sealing performance at a lower price than OEM gaskets.
Quality
- OEM gaskets have the same quality as the original gaskets because they are made by the same manufacturer with the same materials and specifications.
- Aftermarket gaskets are made of different grade materials depending on their manufacturer and price. We recommend choosing high-quality replacement gaskets instead of cheaper ones because inferior materials can cause sealing failure, which can lead to engine damage and failure.
Fit / Performance
- OEM gaskets are manufactured by the original engine brand, so they fit the engine perfectly.
- Aftermarket gaskets are made according to the original specifications and high-quality replacement gaskets are very similar to OEM gaskets, so they tend to fit the engine well. Additionally, their performance might be equal to or better than OEM gaskets.
Variety
- OEM gaskets are easy to choose from as you just need to know your engine brand and which gasket you need to replace.
- Aftermarket gaskets offer more variety as there are different brands available, including replacements for gaskets that are not provided by OEM. However, it’s important to choose carefully.
