Question

Does Ford use OEM parts?

Answer 1

Yes, Ford typically uses OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts in their vehicles. These are components made by the same company that manufactured the parts originally used in the construction of the vehicle. Using OEM parts is common among automakers to ensure compatibility and quality. However, it's always a good idea to check with the specific dealership or service center to confirm the details for your particular model and situation.

Answer 2

Ford does use OEM parts on vehicles when they manufacturer them and when the Ford Dealer repairs them.

The use of OEM parts on Fords and other vehicles at dealer auto shops is another reason why having your vehicle repaired at a dealership is more expensive.

Ford and other Dealerships will not want to use any other parts but their own and the OEM parts.

OEM parts ensure the best fit and performance that won't fail after only a short time like some aftermarket parts can fail.

OEM parts cost more than aftermarket parts but they can save money in the long run as they usually last longer and are more reliable which means you don't have to buy a new part again for a long time.

Motorcraft is the official parts brand of Ford and has been since its inception in the 1950s.

Ford used Autolite as its parts manufacturer for a brief period in the 1960s.

Ford owns Motorcraft.
