    Hi dami ko nababasa information lately kung saan bibili ng parts. Ito na gawin thread para ipost kung saan mabibili original parts sa engine na hindi nirepack/rebadge ng car manufacturer. Thank you JapanABC sa mga information.

    Ako ang alam ko sure na pwede counterpart ng honda automatic transmission fluid z1 - Castrol import and Zic dextron III.

    Sa manual transmission if magpalit na parts like clutch disk, pilot bearing, release bearing, pressure plate ano yung original brand sa honda?

    Ito thread information kung saan mas cheaper yung oem parts kahit casa or banawe. Example HRC in banawe mas mahal pa sa casa benta na parts.

    If you want OEM Clutch Disk and Clutch Cover(Pressure Plate) for Honda then choose F.C.C. Made in Japan(NOTE: There are two F.C.C. -one is made in Japan(Better Quality) one is made in Thailand(Cheaper One) - Then buy from Share auto supply tell him you want Made in Japan, About bearings KOYO Bearings(JTEKT Corporation) is under Toyota Group of companies in other words Koyo's parent company is Toyota and it manufactures one of the best bearings in the world, it also manufactures bearings for other major car makers. If you want a good quality clutch release bearing or idler & tensioner bearing but for lower price choose GMB its quality is already tested and it is OEM for Hyundai, Kia, and few Volkswagen.
    If you want better quality piston rings choose RIK it is no.1 Original Equipment manufacturer of Japan and supplies to Car Makers such as
    Japanese Automotive and Truck Engine Manufacturers
    Daihatsu, Hino, Honda, Isuzu, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan Diesel, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota
    For Europe and USA Automotive and Truck Manufacturers
    AUDI, BRIGGS & STRATTON, BMW, CATERPILLAR, DDC, FORD, JAGUAR, MAK, MAN, SEMT, Volkswagen, WARTILA, New Holland, KS
    and MAHLE

    If an auto supply attempts to change your mind, it is because only he/she wants to sell you on-hand stock in their warehouse. But if you want better quality you must choose yourself. I only want to give proper information. NPR is OEM for Isuzu, NPR's market share in Japan is only 20%. Yet NPR is most popular in Philippines because of mechanics who only gain experience from on-hand repairs, They say they are already "Sanay" sa NPR and wouldn't choose any other brands, But more veteran Mechanics choose RIK or 2nd Choice TP.

    I mean that RIK is also OEM for those European brands. RIK manufactures piston rings and etc... for MAHLE(European brand Piston Ring) and other European Cars and American Cars. But of course it is not 100% OEM for every car, for example for Mazda cars = 83% of its piston rings come from RIK Corporation.

    No they are not the best in water pump, but they are well known here in Philippines by brand recognition, but they manufacture some bearings also, and universal joints and tie rod end and stabilizer link.

    Other brands of water pump such as Aisin, NPW(Nippon Water Pump) and etc... are very expensive therefore no one supplies them here in philippines.

    We are shifting to Aisin water pumps since it uses a plastic impeller that doesn't corrode unlike the metal impeller of GMB. Aisin water pump for a Toyota was Php1800 from Riken Masangkay so the price is not so bad.

    I'm giving you here based on MAHLE website OKAY? NOT SOME WIKIPEDIA info
    MAHLE Group | Press release RIKEN June 22, 2007

    It doesn't matter how big is MAHLE, its a matter of joint venture or cooperation between two giant companies. Please do a little more research before you try to blow of some steam.

    "MAHLE and RIKEN will promote joint cooperation in the areas of technical development and manufacturing of piston rings, engine components and systems, camshafts and other products in line with day-by-day advancement of engine technology. Also the technological level will be enhanced by active technical exchange."-From the website link above

    And to clear a mistake, CASA do not repack those OEM items here in the Philippines. It is done by Toyota, Mitsubishi and other Car manufacturers in Japan or their other branches in different countries. That is why you can see the inconsistency of where it is made, for example this product is made in Japan, because the product was bought in Japan by an OEM factory. If Thailand then it is from a Thailand OEM factory.

    TAMA thermostat is manufactured by OEM factory named Nippon Thermostat CO. LTD or NTCL in short. It is an OEM brand.

    NTCL(OEM Factory) or Parent Company created a sales distributor company named TAMA enterprises that sells to after market with their OEM products under the name of TAMA.

    So no problem with that brand

    the bando brand is the oem manufacturer for honda civic fd tensioner bearing assembly and drive belts.

    in my experience, the casa had the lowest retail price + the parts people can give you a discount so the price billed to you may be substantially lower when compared to outside resellers in the metro

    in contrast, iba ang napansin ko....casa is much more expensive. about 100% ang kanilang patong. like for the thermostat na mitsubishi: P950 sa dealership, P400 sa mitsubishi parts dealers outside casa. ganon din sa timing belt (4k vs. 1.2k), LSPV (12k vs. 6.5k), brake MC (14k vs. 7.5k), oil seals, gaskets, etc.

    yung timing belt na bando, iirc, same ang part number na tinatak sa belt mismo na oem.

    Very nice information you have there sir Japan ABC! Several questions for you on my Fort VVTi.
    1. Speed sensor and gear is now defective. Its located under the transmission housing. May you happen to know where can I buy one outside casa? What brand?
    2. Fuel filter is quite expensive in casa at around 3k. Any brand to use other than OEM? What's the difference why OEM is so expensive?
    3. How about the serpentine belt? What brand other than Toyota OEM?


    Thanks in advance!

    VIC Oil and Fuel Filters - This are just after market brands, they do not supply the major car manufacturers, but of course they are cheap compared to Toyota and etc... Masmanipis lang siya compared sa Casa, but still reliable. And also most Filipinos are brand loyal or brand conscious therefore they do not bother of choosing other brands na. That is why there are few oil and fuel filter brands here in PH because of what the majority of the market desires.

    Bosch Oil Filter - Also another after market product, I didn't see much of the Bosch Filter brand being sold unless na nirequire ng consumer or mechanic.

    Sakura Oil, Fuel and Air Filter - Sakura is an Indonesian brand and factory located in Indonesia, although the name is the flower of Japan. ADR group of companies owns Sakura.
    They are OEM supplier for the Indonesian factories of Anhui Hualing Automobile, Bei Ben, Caterpillar, Chery, Chevrolet, Daihatsu, Ford, Foton, Greatwall, Hino, Hitachi, Holden, Honda, Hyundai, Isuzu, JCB, KIA, Kobelco, Komatsu, Kubota, MAN, Mazda, Mercedez Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Shanghai Diesel Engine, Shantui Construction Machinery, Suzuki, TCM, Toyota, UD Trucks, Yanmar, and etc.

    Realston - Is just a relatively new established company in Korea, it just started 11 years ago on the year 2002, I never saw this product in the market, all I see is Mobil brand. Basically I have no knowledge of this brand yet.

    Okay for the OEM manufacturer of Oil, Air and Fuel Filters this is the brand.

    Tokyo Roki - is Japan's OEM manufacturer as it supplies to the following customers, sadly Tokyo Roki doesn't supply to the after market as it is already supplying to the major Car and truck Manufacturers, Xerox Machine and etc...
    Canon Inc.
    Daihatsu Motor Co.,Ltd
    Fuji Heavy Industries,Ltd.
    Fuji Xerox Co.,Ltd.
    Hino Motors,Ltd.
    Honda Motor Co.,Ltd.
    Isuzu Motors LIMITED
    Kyocera Corporation
    Mazda Motor Corporation
    Mitsubishi Fuso Truck&Bus Co.,Ltd
    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries,Ltd.
    Mitsubishi Motors Corporation
    Ricoh Company.,Ltd.

    Suzuki Motor Corporation
    Toshiba Corporation

    My question is, is your car still under warranty. If it is still under warranty DO NOT REPLACE any parts with a replacement one or else this will void your warranty even though you just replace one part of your car.

    If its not under warranty then for Serpentine Belt, either buy Bando, Mitsuboshi, or Gates.
    Fuel Filter then VIC & Nippon Micro - Japanese brand after market filters, Toyota is more expensive due to it has better quality in filtering foreign objects.

    For sensors, I know NGK/NTK pero it is not readily available in auto supply retalier, because 1st of all hindi naman siya masirain so talaga hindi sila magstostock nun, they will need to order from the supplier 1st. You can try to order from Toyosco, Lucky 2, Toyorama, THK, Share, Tach Motion, and Denso Araneta - I mention this auto supplies because this auto supplies are specialist for Toyota and they are directly ordering from Importers.

    Oh forgot to mention Denso brand also for the sensors
