What does OES Genuine means?

Back to my habit again so I was browsing the web for new and interesting stuff and I was in this forum when I keep encountering this word “OES”. So before searching the web for its meaning, I tried to guess it from the context from that forum. So this was what I thought, Only Existing System, Original Equipment for Subaru or Saab or Saturn or Scion or Suzuki (basically anything make that starts with the letter‘s’ lol), then Online Equipment Seller. Unfortunately all of them sound ridiculous and none of those guesses are right, would you imagine that lol.

So what is OES Genuine? As easy as it can be, I never guessed it right; it stands for Original Equipment Supplier. It’s a bit the same with aftermarket parts. Basically it is/are part/s that is supplied by the actual vehicle manufacturer. But don’t be mistaken, most major car makers do not produce their own parts; they look for other companies that would do it for them. These OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or OES companies produce the said parts that are recognized with the original vehicle maker’s logos and part numbers.

So that’s it. When you see an auto part that has OES in it, most likely that comes the vehicle manufacturer and is a genuine product so don’t worry about the quality. Ciao.
