Generally, OEM parts are better than aftermarket products for many reasons. The former are made using the same materials and specifications as the original product (made by the equipment manufacturer). On the other hand, aftermarket industry filters may be good, but they are not the same as filters used in your equipment when it was first assembled. That said, let us take a look at the reasons you should use OEM marine oil filters instead of aftermarket products.

Compatibility

Considering raw materials, specifications, and manufacturing standards, OEM oil filters will be more compatible with your equipment. Compatibility here means that it will function ‘organically’ with other parts of the machine given the fact they were made using the same manufacturing standards. OEM filters are more likely to uphold the quality performance of the equipment for the same reason.

Guaranteed Quality

Quality is one of the major reasons people settle for OEM products. Since the filters are the same as the ones used in the equipment the first time it was assembled by the manufacturer, there is no reason to worry about quality. Since quality is a major factor to consider when shopping for a marine oil filter, choosing to buy OEM products will lift the burden of quality consideration off your shoulders.

OEM Filter Last Long

If you have ever used an aftermarket part, you may have noticed that it didn’t last as long as the original part that was replaced – all things being equal. This is because aftermarket products are not as durable as the OEM marine oil filters. If you are looking for industry filters that stand the test of time, you have to opt for OEM filters.

Better Performance and Efficiency

If you are looking for a high-performing product, an OEM industry filter is your best choice. Being made of the same materials and specifications as the filter your equipment originally came with, it has a better performance and efficiency than the aftermarket type. Siguna OEM filters absorb more dirt than competitors. Siguna filters are original with long service life – up to 25% longer service life than an average oil filter.
