My vehicle (2004 Adventure M/T diesel) underwent its final PMS under warranty yesterday, and accordingly, the dealer has already recommended the replacement of several parts by the next service schedule (70,000kms):
- front brake pads
- timing belt
- tensioner
- oil seals
I'm aware that for the first two, OEM parts are recommended since they are vital components. For the other two however, will aftermarket parts suffice as replacement, or is it necessary for them to be OEM as well?

July 3rd, 2007 05:55 PM #2my take on this is :
front brake pads - there are better after market pads than mitsu oems (like Bendix)
Timing Belt - OEM
Tensioner - replacement
oil seals - OEM

July 3rd, 2007 07:30 PM #4OEM oil seals are not that expensive. I'd prolly get them. Because if they fail, you'd have to take the t-belt apart again.
OEM tensioners also make good sense.
Bendix makes good pads. Or you can try entry level models of high grade pads like EBC.

July 5th, 2007 08:44 PM #7may experience with mitsu parts is:
sa brake pads its better to use oem bcause rplacement parts ngssqueak even bendix sa ngayon kc pti rplacement parts my fake n rin,ngplit2 ako ng rplacement brand ng pads para mawala ung squeak and ending in refacing the rotor and use OEM pads (P2.3T).
abt oil seal; replacement ok lang kung NOK ang brand same sa OEM box lng pnagkaiba, may fake din ng NOK dun K buy sa araneta (if ur frm QC) going SM nsa ryt side 1st corner after E.Rod (United Bearing Co.). May Tensioner n din dun ever wala ung syo hanap ng replacement parts skf,nsx,nsk,koyo, etc. na brand nung bearing n nkkbit tensioner.
abt sa belt ok lng rplacement wag lang ung tig P450 na dynaflex? na brand. pwergrip, bando, mtsboshi around P600-P900. OEM around P2T ata
