OIL FILTER
Oil filter prevents particles from getting into the oil thus eliminating any particles that may cause engine knock.
How to tell the difference.

FAKE OIL FILTER

Not well layered, therefore does not catch particles before the oil gets to the engine-may cause engine knock.

Made with low quality materials, prone to tearing and clogging, causing excessive fuel consumption, and in some cases engine damage.

Lack Durability, causing frequent replacements.

GENUINE OIL FILTER

Made form dual textured element

Well layered to filter particles of different sizes.

Made with good quality tight sealing gasket materials that ensure durability


SPARK PLUG
Spark plugs ignite a mixture of compressed air and fuel, creating engine power. They are responsible for the easy movement of a car. A jerking car for instance might be as a result of fake spark plugs and can be quite frustrating.
How to tell the difference

FAKE PLUGS

No resistor, so fail to reduce interference with the car electronics.

Have no U-grove ground electrode and therefore impair engine power/performance.

Plug housing has low rate of thermal conduction, so tends to run too hot or too cold.

Cause hard starts, unstable running, engine misfires.

Lead to engine misfire and cause engine damage.

Misappropriate heating range, causing low performance in uphill climbs or when carrying loads; excessive fuel consumption.

GENUINE PLUGS

Easy start, smooth running; no problem with hill climbing, Has resistor which prevents interference with on-board electronics.

Have a U-grove ground electrode, which optimizes engine performance.

Plug housing has a high rate of thermal conduction ensuring ideal temperature.

Appropriate heating range better fuel millage and smooth running.


BRAKE PAD
Brake pads enable vehicles to stop by pressing on both sides of the brake rotor, which rotates with the wheels.
How to tell the difference

FAKE BRAKE PADS

Made with asbestos materials that are hazardous to the environment.

Do not have anti-skim shim, which makes it more likely to squeak.

Brake pads do not undergo any quality inspection.

Can not provide stable performance and reliable braking.

Not durable: More frequent replacements make them more expensive in the long run

Cause brake failure.

GENUINE BRAKE PADS

Lined to ensure reliable braking and safe driving.

Environmentally friendly; made without asbestos.

Finely processed anti-skim shim, which prevents brake noise/vibration.

Brake pads undergo strict quality control inspections.

Optimum performance throughout the life of the brake pads.

Durable.
