O.E.M. - Engine for Mercedes-Benz G-Class (2002-2024) W463

When it states that this part is an O.E.M. brand, it means that it was sourced from a manufacturer that was an original equipment supplier to the manufacturer. On a 30-40 year old car, it is likely that the small manufacturer in Germany who produces these parts sells these to our German distributor *and* also supplies the auto manufacturer's stock as well. This is how it is with a tremendous amount of these older, small production parts produced by small manufacturers in Germany. Since this particular part is sourced through a distribution network within Germany, it is sold in packaging that is not branded with the manufacturer's name, but is the same quality level as the part sold directly through the dealer network.
