Oil Seals: OEM vs Aftermarket - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Even some actual facts behind the engineering differences, (material quality, design, visually) of these seals would be appreciated instead of just gut feel. Some of these brands are known to be high quality in the commercial industries so I am curious on what exactly makes them better or worse than OEM.

The risk of not using OEM does not outweigh any benefit of saving $40. Plain and simple. You could argue all day about "Well this ________ brand is good." While it may be, why would you risk it?

Originally Posted by m88tow Haha, it's not a risk in my book. I have been turning wrenches a long time and not had a problem yet and don't think I will start to have one either. Pay more for the same quality all you want, choice is up to you. Originally Posted by stir_fry_boy Seriously? My philosophy is do the job once, do it right, and cry once. Try using a non-OEM timing tensioner in a Honda V6 and see what happens.

How do you know they are the same quality?
