LOL, yes, "OE replacement" or "OEM quality" or "for ..." or "fits ..." or anything like that is basically saying, "no this is not an original part, has nothing to do with the car manufacturer or original part supplier to that manufacturer, but we've tried to copy that and hope it fits." Deceptive, yes, and very common too.

It is OK, but I can hear it whine from time to time, so the quality is in the crapper. Stay away from non-oem parts. I will replace this with OEM first chance I get.
Time and time again, with this car, I see people complaining about the bad quality aftermarket parts.

It seems, for this car, OEM is the way to go as a blanket statement for anything.
