OEM, huh?

So I know JDM= Japanese Domestic Market

And I know OEM parts are from the american manufacturers.

But WTF do these initials really mean? I have asked scores of people and no one really knows. From my AIM to the losers in the Walmart parking lot. Flame me if you want, but please TELL ME. What is OEM?????

OEM=Original Equipment Manufactured=factory or dealership parts

you can have OEM JDM parts too....

OEM just means the original manufacturer made them. It dosnt specify from where.

Original Equipment Manufactured, Thank you.

I had heard that one once. I just kills me that I didn't know the abbreviation.

"I label 'em POS" ... lol... so true unfortunately. I have also been the victim of POS "OEM" products. Luckily nothing expensive... whew.

I was wondering the same thing NismoPC!! The OEM stuff is usualy the best stuff. Usually the most over priced but most of the time its the best.
