Sure you save them some money, but how many vehicles do you pull the timing belt out 200k after you replace seals and say "those seals work equally as well as OEM"? The many Toyota techs I've spoken to, the risk of replacing the cam and crank seals at 100k miles does not outweigh the benefits as replacing the original factory seals can produce a leak in and of itself. They rarely, if ever, leak prior to 200k miles.

Like I said, have you ever used an aftermarket timing tensioner on a Honda V6? I know plenty of Honda mechanics that don't work for the dealer that absolutely will not put anything but OEM parts in a Honda when they do a timing belt. All it takes is one failed tensioner that ruined an entire engine.

Same principle, while an aftermarket part may work and be good, it may not be the best. The risks may be low, but the benefit is high for me to put OEM in my truck, however that may not be the case for everyone. __________________

It gets sticky because technically all factory engine seals are aftermarket so to speak because toyota outsources them to aftermarket companies to mass produce them for the them. Now if you can find or buy those same exact seals directly from the original supplier then i purchase them direct but if unsure then the only way to know for sure you are buying the original stuff is to buy from the dealer. And just because nok makes the front engine seals doesnt mean to use the same manufacturer for say valve cover gaskets cuz they are likely made by a different supplier! The term oem is a very loose term in the auto business! It doesnt mean factory at all! Only the oes term means dealer item. Oem just means that that manufacturer makes atleast one part for toyota. But not all nok parts they make are oes. Do not use national or felpro or any of that other junk if at all possible. I have alot of experimce working in cars and when it comes to seals use only OES. The sftermarket junk always leaks after a year or two. The original stuff lasts waaaay longer. Keep your toyota a toyota. And if a repair shop is using the wrong aftermarket parts tou are just getting robbed. The oes stuff costs a premium and is harder for shops to get amd harder formthem to turn a profit on! They try to sell the cheap easy stuff becuse there is more room
For markup and profit at the expense of quality.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket automotive oil seals are two types of seals used in vehicles. OEM seals are made by the same manufacturer as the original equipment installed in the vehicle, while aftermarket seals are made by third-party manufacturers.

Here are some of the key differences between OEM and aftermarket automotive oil seals:

Aspect OEM Aftermarket Quality OEM seals are made to the same specifications as the original equipment and are designed to fit and function perfectly in the vehicle. Aftermarket seals may not be made to the same specifications as the original equipment and may not fit or function as well as OEM seals. Price OEM seals are typically more expensive than aftermarket seals due to the higher quality and the fact that they are made by the same manufacturer as the original equipment. Aftermarket seals are usually less expensive than OEM seals due to lower production costs and competition among manufacturers. Availability OEM seals can only be purchased from authorized dealers or directly from the manufacturer. Aftermarket seals are widely available from a variety of sources, including auto parts stores, online retailers, and third-party manufacturers. Warranty OEM seals may be covered by a warranty from the vehicle manufacturer or the seal manufacturer. Aftermarket seals may or may not be covered by a warranty from the manufacturer or the retailer.

OEM seals are made by the same manufacturer as the original equipment, and are designed for perfect installation and operation in vehicles. They are usually more expensive, but they are of better quality and may have a warranty. Seals in the accessories market are made by third-party manufacturers. Many inferior manufacturers may not be as suitable or effective as OEM seals, but they are usually cheaper and widely available (all oil seals of NNK can perfectly replace the original oil seals, and the price is very favorable). The above table compares the main differences between OEM and after-sales automobile oil seals.
