Guys, just need to know quick(Car going in the shop) if I should stick with Honda parts for this job.

1.Timing Belt- Goodyear Gatorback vs Honda OE
2.Fenco Water Pump vs Honda OE
3.Gatorback PS,AC/Alternator Belt vs Honda OE
4.Wix Oil Filter vs Honda OE(Honeywell)
5.Fram Air Filter vs Honda OE
6.Bosch Platinum Ir Fusion Spark Plugs vs Honda OE

The price difference between OE Honda and the 3rd party is $110, the Water Pump being the major.

Time crunched so couldn't use "Search"...Any input will be much appreciated.

 

1,2,6 go honda oe. especially on the spark plugs and water pump. the oil filter and air filter doesnt matter but id still go oem on those,

 

Purchase those in bold

 

I would do Honda OE for everything except the oil filter. wix filters are very good, i would do extended intervals on that no sweat.

 

x2^^

 

Ok...Decided to go with Honda OE on everything despite a good reputation of Gatorback belts..
For Spark Plugs I wanted to give Bosch Ir Fusion a try as they have good reviews.

But there wasn't much price difference between PS & AC/Alternator belts-$7-$10.
Timing Belt & Water pump were twice the money though!!!

Car is in the shop being torn apart as I write..

 

i doubt you will get 105k out of those fusions. should have gone with the NGK lazer plugs.

 

Got them for free practically,so even if I change them @50K,still a bargain.
Let's see how they work out.
Everything else I went stock.
