Loved this list of non-oem product. Thank you for sharing.
I agree with most of this. A couple of things I've learned over the years. Mahle usually makes better gaskets than Felpro for Honda. With regards to belts, I like Bando but on some Honda's, for example, the J series V6 engines with hydraulic tensioners, only the OE belt will do. If you use any other aftermarket belt out there you'll get a tensioner rattle at idle. The OE belt is thicker than any other aftermarket belt I have found and prevents this rattle.
Check that on the V6 OEM belt.
Good to know. Are you talking about the timing belt or the accessory belt?
@@Mickey_Bauer Serpentine drive belt. For timing belt services use Aisin kits. Aisin also makes parts for Honda and Toyota.
@ yep, i was just looking at Aisin kit. Everyone seems to like it. It comes with KOYO bearings and Mitsuboshi timing belt.
The OEM timing belt for my Accord is Unitta (made in Japan) but people say Mitsuboshi (Thailand) is also good (used to be OEM on some models i guess).
I agree Mahle is better than FelPro for gaskets. Many of the ones I’ve used for my Hondas are made in Japan, and available through Rock Auto for a fraction of oem price
Aisin water pump and timing belt kit is basically honda oem
Not really.Yamada pump it is
It's Yamada currently, but for my 3.0L Accord it was Aisin and that's what I used with the kit. I did go with Gates Unitta Japan belt vs the Mitsuboshi that came with the kit. Also chose a Bando for the accessory belt. ZERO concern using Aisin vs Yamada.
Didn't know Hitachi made MAF sensor. Haven't had to replace any really. Thanks, good to know.
You bet , thanks for watching 👍!
OEM parts are great but really pricey. Like you I try to find the manufacturers of the OEM part and go with the aftermarket version. Didn't know Hitachi made the MAF, good to know. I used a TYC radiator on a 01 Civic, fit and worked perfectly. It was really a Koyo, said so on the box. Used a Bando accessory belt on a 3.0L Accord.
I agree with everything except the KYB quick struts. KYB makes good shocks, but the springs that comes in a quick strut box are harsh and not accurate in lengh, they're taller than OEM. I got 2006 and 2007 2.4 Accords. I wish I replaced the shocks only and kept the original springs.
Are they taller than new or used OEM springs? Old springs sag overtime. I replace just the struts and keep the old springs myself, to avoid height surprises. If I was doing the front springs I'd factor in that I might need to do rear as well in order to match front and rear spring heights.
Outstanding info, and line of thinking. I do the same, both with my '05 5spd CR-V, and with German cars. I've made an effort a couple times to use my local Honda dealer, and they're still functioning like they always have; "You're lucky to have us. We do what we want." Wanted to replace the tiny bulbs in my cruise control, VSA, and sunroof switch. 25 bucks per bulb. HondaPartsNow was 8 plus 7 to ship, and their online parts catalogues are the factory diagrams, with parts easily clicked on, and loaded into the cart. It's a great option for OEM.

Hey Big Dog, would you mind doing a video on your shop tool set up in your garage…Looks extremely organized and easy to access all your tools etc. Appreciate it if not too much trouble for you. Love your channel.
I'll see what I can do, thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the recommendations, appreciate any info on best parts for Hondas.
Nice idea for a video. I tried the Denso AC compressor for my Element but the piece that was leaking didn't actually come on the Denso unit so I had to send it back. Honda doesn't sell the piece either so my mechanic had to get a compressor from a scrapyard Element. Its already leaking again a couple years later.
Nissin brake parts - I have older Honda’s and the master brake cylinders are marked Honda on one side and Nissin on the other…. Nissin also makes the brake calipers on my older Honda’s.
They sure do and they are Excellent my 04 Accord uses them along with my 14 Acura RDX
I put in two lifetime warranty Doorman fans about 2 years ago that are still working great. No issues whatsoever.
Great idea for a video and very helpful. I have been doing this already for many items, but you introduced me to a couple of other suppliers in this video.
Thanks for the comment 👍!
Looks like the very same parts I use. Those Akebono brake pads are really good I use those on pretty much any car I'm doing a brake job on. I like ngk also spark plugs and coils. Great video .
Dave thanks for sharing your knowledge . I try to always use OEM but as my cars age sometimes you just can’t get a Honda OEM part . What I have done is purchase parts that could fail mostly electronic components and just purchase them and have them in case . It’s like buying a new tool . Do I need it now probably not but I’ll add it to my collection .Lol too late to change now . Unfortunately nobody in my family knows what a screwdriver is . Thanks for sharing Dave. 🇺🇸👍
Dorman sometimes breat sometimes not. Worth the gamble
Very interesting video 🎉
Great info-I have been buying Denso products for my Honda's but now I have a list of other quality parts when needed....
I’ve had good luck with the TYC stuff and those Bando belts last forever
Nissin makes brakes for Honda’s too also i found out. American Made Acura/Honda’s are much easier to get replacement parts for. And of them under 25 years old not bad at all to get parts. And service expensive yes but the prices fluctuate.
Good, informative video. One thing to very leery of is price. I've been taken on "Honda" oem parts, and I have a friend who had the same experience with "NGK" plugs. These are Chinese companies who are cloning brand name parts that are identical in appearance, right down to the packaging. Back to price: if a part seems too good to be true as far as price, stay away from it, no matter how authentic it appears or how attractive the price, because its just a cheap, no good, knockoff, and as stated in the video, will cost you more in the long run.
You just can’t buy that stuff on EBay or Amazon. Through Rock Auto or local parts stores it’s going to be authentic
Great video
Yo big 🐶, almost perfect timing I have a hesitation like I said on my Honda Accord upon takeoff and I feel that the symptom is indicative of a map sensor I checked aftermarket outlets on the Hitachi but they want $80 on the name brand but I found an aftermarket for $10 free shipping I'm a little tight on the money so I'm going to have to go with the cheaper for now
I went for a cheaper part for my Civic-$30 for a transmission sensor but in the mean time I ordered the Honda part just in case-$80-the china part lasted 2-3 months before it gave it up..
Good to know these things thanks
👍
Wow thank you
👍
Great info, thank you.
Can you help with the part number for rear rotors - disk brakes for accord 2007 please 🙏🏻
How do you avoid counterfeit products?
I have bought TYC fan for my Element and works great. As for Amazon my son bought a Bando serpentine belt on Amazon and it was too small 😮
Bando is an OEM manufacturer so I like using them, just have to make sure to get the correct size for the application. I do know that there are issues with Amazon and identifying parts that fit, always best to double check someplace else to make sure the part number is the one you need. Thanks for the input!
@ Thank you
For those hondas with hydraulic rack and pinion. Which one you recommend? I installed 2 edelman for my crv from rock auto and they seem to work ok but they make noise compared to the oem one was very quiet.
I learned my lesson with an aftermarket blower motor. So noisy I replaced it with an OEM Denso. What's the best way to purchase these parts? Manufacturer's website? Or are there alternative websites with these brands?
Rockauto, Worldpac.
What brand would you use for a rack and pinion for a 2007 accord vp
Hi Big Dog, have you ever purchased Honda OEM online parts from companies that use the Revolution Parts software ? The prices are 30% off Honda retail, and if you buy the same part at a Honda dealership, the markup is usually between 50-100%
I do get parts online when I can wait for them but no idea what software they use, otherwise I use the local dealer. The dealer generally gives me a discount off the retail prices. Thanks for the input!
Im the same way. For anything MAJOR like a sensor or something i get it straight from honda. But my brake calipers, on my 8th gen civic I changed to after market galvanized ones. The 8th gens calipers rust out from the factory and i was tired of it. An the after market calipers work very well. Not everything has to be constantly OEM. Only major stuff has to be OEM like rod bearings, timing chain, wheel speed sensors, 02 sensor.. etc. anything else i go denso or amazon lol
Morning do you have a video on replacing mode actuator on Honda Element or replacing the ECM?
Not yet.
How do I find out who made the parts for Honda? For example, who made the clock springs for the seventh generation Accords?
Akebono better than oem depending on vehicle
How has your experience buying from RockAuto been?
I knew Bando made belts for Honda. But I didn’t know Hitachi made MAP/MAF sensors for them. Also, who makes the power steering pumps for them?
Honda makes there own Power Steering pumps. Or maybe showa but thats the PS racks on some models. There is Also TRW as well its says in factory. Service manual.
Lastly Honda used many different brands of belts. Unitta Belts which is part of Gates. Makes there timing belts. And for Drive belts they used many like a Mitsubishi one ive seen.
My mom just had her power steering pump replaced on a 04 Civic with a remanufactured aftermarket and it took the mechanic 3 tries before it finally worked. The Dealer by me wanted $1,200 just for the Honda power steering pump, insane.
Hi Big Dog, I am going to change my gasket solenoid and pcv valve for my civic when the parts arrive. I ordered aftermarket from Ali Express. Pcv valve for good reviews but I read in some comments that the valve got damaged since torque spec 33 ft lbs was too much. I'm wondering whether to clean the old pcv valve with break cleaner and reuse it. Or use the aftermarket one and tighten it just above hand tight.
A PCV valve doesn't need "torqued". Just get it snug. Plus, I'd use a old, dirty OEM one over that Ali Express crap 🤣
@HallStevenson Thank you very much for your advice.I will try and see if honda have one or I will clean mine upand use it again.
I was thinking to change my mom’s PCV on a 04 Civic and two Honda techs told me to buy OEM. It’s 3 times the price of an aftermarket but it’s not a part that you have to change very often.
@@HallStevenson I got the cheap pvc valve , I will give it a shot but tighten it snug like 9ft lbs, no more.
I needed to be burned couple of times with cheap replacement parts to learn to buy from reputable sources.
I almost always buy the cheapest parts that I can find. I have been ripped off by expensive parts and I have been ripped off by cheap parts. I would rather get ripped off by cheap parts. If I had more experience with part manufactures I could adjust my purchases accordingly...but I think I win the bet more than I lose.
I prefer OEM Parts
👍

Feel pro sucks SO DOES CENTRIC rotors. Use advics rotors if you have to.
Advics & Nissens definitely better quality but more expensive
Centric premium advertises "symmetric vane casting". They're absolutely not all as advertised. I had a pair on Odyssey that would shudder when hot. Inspected, and they were not symmetric. Called Centric support and they quite freely admitted that the marketing info was not accurate. To put it politely. Replaced with Bosch that are symmetric and they were fine. It affects heat distribution and dissipation. Odysseys and Pilots are sensitive to their rotors. Shudder is common with lower quality rotors. On a Civic it won't matter. Just about anything will work well on a Civic.
CarQuest aftermarket is garbage. Causing intermittent long cracks right away for my Honda Accord.
Thanks for the input!
sadly Denso is not what it used to be and it's China.
Thanks for the input!
It's Denso, not Denzo.
