I think you pay your money and take your chance . Like previous comments I always use Honda products, except recent rear wiper blade. In my mind the saving is not worth the risk. Others will disagree. I was told by my Honda dealer some years ago the reason Honda brought out the 5 year service plan was to ensure servicing at a Honda dealer, because research showed owners were going to non franchised garages, to be told they needed new parts when they didn’t. This did not give Honda the edge they knew they had , and pushed up unnecessary service ownership costs. Over the life of a vehicle I think the ultimate savings made buying non Honda parts is questionable. We have had 9 Honda vehicles, minor problems.
As an illustration , I saw a you tube some years ago regarding Toyota / Lexus oil filters. They bought about 20 and cut them all in half. The difference was vast, with many of them completely useless, at doing what they needed to do, including well known, but cheaper (economical) brands.
I know we all wish to save costs and believe what we read, for me the peace of mind is worth the often small extra difference, although I would baulk at some main dealer older vehicle servicing costs, and use a local specialist but insist on Honda Original Parts. I have also in the past found big variation in Main dealer servicing costs, so shop around if you can. It is also worth trying the likes of online Honda dealers, for parts and service items, but beware, particularly on eBay of fakes, which is one reason I really only stick with Honda OE.
This is always a hot topic, with strong opposing views, good luck I’m sticking with Honda.
