How to identify the OEM code of your vehicle
🔍 When purchasing a compatible auto part, knowing the OEM code of the original component can be essential. This code – often composed of letters and numbers – is used by car manufacturers to precisely identify each individual spare part.
📦 Where to find it:
- On the old part to be replaced (engraved or printed on the plastic/metal)
- On the label in the engine compartment or trunk
- In the use and maintenance manual
- Through official portals or online databases of producers
🧠 What is it for:
Knowing the OEM code allows you to search for compatible spare parts more precisely, avoiding purchasing errors and saving time. Many aftermarket retailers – like our store – indicate the supported equivalent OEM part number in the product description.
⚠️ Attention:
An OEM code can be shared by multiple car models, or be slightly different based on engines or trim levels. For this reason, in case of doubt, it is always advisable to contact us before purchasing.
📌 Conclusion:
The OEM code is the most useful tool to identify the right spare part. If you can't find it, please provide your car brand, model and year, we will help you choose the correct compatible product.
