Aftermarket V.S. OEM Parts?
When you need to replace parts in your vehicle, you will often have the option of choosing between aftermarket or OEM parts. You might be wondering what the differences are or if one is better than the other. We break down the difference so that you can make an wise decision the next time you need to replace parts in your vehicle.
An aftermarket part is a part of the vehicle that is not from the car's maker. Many companies make parts that are designed to function in the same way as the original part. One of the benefits of using aftermarket parts is that they are generally less expensive than OEM parts. The difference in cost will depend the brand so it's always a good idea to shop around or have an idea of what the OEM csot would be. They also have more variety and more available. You probably will not have to wait as long for a part to come in with aftermarket parts as you would with OEM parts and will have more flexibility and options for costs.
The cons of aftermarket parts is that not all aftermarket parts are high quality. Some aftermarket parts are inferior because that brand uses lower quality materials. Also the fitment might be wrong due to the failed production precesses and design errors.
OEM parts are made by your vehicle’s manufacturers. They match the parts that came with your vehicle when it came off the assembly line. One of the biggest pros to buying OEM is that they always fit fine and work exactly as your previous part did.
However, OEM parts are usually more expensive than the aftermarket parts, costing up to 60%-80% more than aftermarket parts. Also OEM parts generally need to be bought at the dealership which limits the amount of places you can purchase from and it can take longer time for OEM parts to be delivered to a local mechanic (labor cost).
There is no best option in the debate between after market vs. OEM. It will depend on your knowledge of aftermarket brands such as Potauto, your using range and your own needs.

Knowing Your Cabin Air Filter:
The cabin air filter, a feature of cleaning the air that comes into the interior through the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. It catches dust, pollen and other airborne materials that can make riding in a car unpleasant, particularly if you have allergies or other respiratory problems.
Recommendations on when it should be replaced vary by manufacturer — some say every 12,000 or 15,000 miles, others longer — and how often can depend on how much you drive and where. If you drive in heavy traffic in an urban area that has poor air quality, you could need to replace the filter annually or even more often. However, that also could be true in a desert climate where there is a lot of dust.
Some signs that you need a new cabin air filter are reduced air flow through your climate control system, such as when you crank up the fan too high and get more noise than results. Another is persistent bad odors. Even if you don't have these warnings, you should have the filter checked at least once a year, and you may be able to do that yourself.
Many cabin air filters are located behind the glove box and are easily accessible by freeing the glove box from its fasteners (instructions should be in the owner's manual). Others are located under the dashboard and may not be easy to reach, or under the hood where fresh air enters the climate control system. Some of these filters are expensive, as in $50 or more at dealershops, so you could save money by buying a replacement at PayandPack store (Brand: Potauto) and doing it yourself.
If a dealership service department or repair shop recommends you get a new cabin air filter, ask to see the current one. Depending on how long the filter has been in service, you might be shocked at what you see: leaves, twigs, insects, soot and grime that literally cover the entire surface that comes in contact with incoming air. You'll know it's time for a new cabin air filter.
