5 Benefits of Getting OEM Parts for Your Nissan

 

When it comes to maintaining your Nissan, it’s essential to use the right parts. OEM parts are the same parts you’d find on your vehicle fresh out of the factory, and your Nissan dealership uses nothing else when servicing your pride and joy.

Why Get OEM Parts for Your Nissan?

1. Performance and Safety

Performance and safety are great reasons for using OEM components on your Nissan, and the two things are linked. Brakes are one element to be aware of. For instance, there are vital differences in the way OEM brake pads are designed compared to some aftermarket equivalents, and that can lead to early failure in the case of the latter.

There are many other examples we could highlight. Inferior struts or shock absorbers could make the car hard to handle in an emergency. A low-quality steering rack could cause a loss of control, too. Simple items like air or oil filters can harm your engine and make the car run badly if they’re a poor fit or they have substandard filtration. OEM Nissan parts help to maintain performance and safety.

2. Efficiency

Also related to performance is efficiency. You may think of fuel efficiency when this word crops up, and there are many ways a malfunctioning car can harm this. OEM engine components might avoid problems, for example, by optimizing efficiency in the combustion process. Maintaining the air intake system with original parts helps efficiency. OEM exhaust components could help with fuel efficiency by avoiding issues like back pressure.

3. Reliability

Cars of today are more reliable than they used to be, but still, using parts made by OEMs helps them stay that way. Items that may seem innocuous like aftermarket spark plugs could create all manner of problems, like unreliable starting, engine misfires, poor fuel economy, or ignition system damage and failure. (Nissans tend to use either NGK or Denso spark plugs.)

4. Peace of Mind From a Nissan Dealership

It’d be wrong to claim that all aftermarket parts are low quality. However, many times when you’re shopping for cheap parts, you won’t be sure of the quality. That niggling element of doubt doesn’t exist when you invest in Nissan parts and get your vehicle serviced by a Nissan dealer. You also know OEM components won’t expire prematurely. In the longer term, you’re likely to save money.

5. Warranty Compliance

A Nissan vehicle warranty usually lasts for 3 years or 36,000 miles. It’s not necessarily voided by the use of aftermarket parts, but damage or failure that is caused by “installation of non-Nissan approved accessories or components” is a reason for exclusion.
