1️⃣ OE Number ≠ Universal Fit — One Code, Many Variants
Many customers assume:
“As long as I have the OE number, you can just ship it.”
In fact, one OE number can apply to multiple models, production years, or even different chassis versions.
For example:
Some Toyota control arms for the Europe version and Asia-Pacific version share the same OE code, but their actual size may differ by 0.5 cm — causing installation issues.
✅ Tip: Always provide OE number + vehicle model + year + photo for double confirmation.
2️⃣ OEM vs Aftermarket: It’s Not Just About Price — Precision Matters
Some buyers go for cheaper aftermarket parts, especially for shock absorbers or brake discs — but these parts require high precision.
Low-end brands may lead to:
- Uneven vibration or noise
- Extended braking distance
- Lifespan only 60% of original parts
✅ Tip: For such critical parts, go for mid-to-high quality brands or original parts. The balance between cost and performance is key.
3️⃣ Engine Oil: Thinner ≠ Better — Wrong Choice May Damage Your Engine
Many people believe:
“0W-20 is always better than 5W-30.”
But the truth is:
- Older vehicles or hot climate driving work better with 5W-30 / 5W-40
- Thin oils offer fast cold starts, but may lose protection at high temperatures
✅ Tip: Choose oil viscosity based on vehicle age + local climate, not marketing hype.
4️⃣ Exterior Plastic Parts: Always Ask for Real Photos!
For items like fog lamp trims, emblems, or mirror covers — even tiny clip or hole differences between batches can result in mismatch.
✅ Tip: Always request real product photos or sample images. Confirm clips, dimensions, and color tones match your needs.
