- Durability: Authentic components last longer and can handle tough operating conditions.
- Safety: Duplicate parts can compromise engine reliability, leading to accidents or sudden breakdowns.
- Cost Efficiency: While duplicates may seem cheaper initially, they often lead to higher long-term costs due to repeated replacements and damage to other components.
