History

Summit Racing Equipment began in 1968, as a part-time, one-person business. As word of the low prices got out, the business grew.
1969-1987
In 1969, Summit Racing Equipment opened it first store in Akron, Ohio. The company's early product line included performance parts from Accel, Holley, Mallory, Hurst, Mickey Thompson, and other "big names". Throughout the 70s and 80s, Summit Racing Equipment continued to grow, and the company’s Summit Racing Catalog grew from an annual buyers guide to a bi-monthly publication.

1992-1999
In 1992, the company moved its headquarters to a larger facility in Tallmadge, Ohio. With a larger Retail Store and Distribution Center, the company expanded its product offering to include truck, SUV, and Jeep-specific parts.
In 1998, Summit Racing Equipment opened a second Retail Store and Distribution Center in Sparks, Nevada. That location enabled customers in the western United States to receive parts in one to two days via ground shipping.
To keep up with the high demand for performance and styling parts, the company doubled the size of its facility in 1999. With the new space, Summit Racing Equipment could stock millions of parts from hundreds of manufacturers.

2002-2007
In 2002, the doors of Summit Racing Equipment's new 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m²) Retail Super Store opened in Tallmadge, Ohio. The store is a destination for enthusiasts, with thousands of parts on display, legendary vehicles like Don Garlits' Swamp Rat 32, plus customer-built vehicles on display. A third location, in McDonough, Georgia, opened in 2006. That location solidified the company’s ability to ship throughout most of the United States within 1–2 days via ground shipping.
In 2007, Summit Racing Equipment acquired Genuine Hotrod Hardware, a direct mail company specializing in apparel, decor, gifts and other hot rod lifestyle products.

Customer Reviews

It's Cheap.
I bought a second hand 2000 oldsmobile Intrigue GX. I want to replace the transmission filter follow the manual's recommendation. I went to some local shop, the filter kit is very expensive. Filter and gasket have the same price. But this kit which includes the filter and the gasket costs less than the filter in my local stores. I gave this kit to my dealer to let them install it for me. After replacement, the accelerate is better than before. I think it is worth the price.

Original equipment manufacturer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

"OEM" redirects here. For other uses, see OEM (disambiguation).

An Original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by a company and retailed under the purchasing company's brand name.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} OEM refers to the company that originally manufactured the product.
When referring to automotive parts, OEM designates a replacement part made by the manufacturer of the original part.^[6]

Contents 1 Confusing and contradictory definitions 2 Economy of scale 3 Automotive parts 4 Origin of term 5 See also 6 References

Confusing and contradictory definitions

OEM may also refer to a company that purchases--for use in its own products--a component made by a second company.^[7][8][9] For instance, under this definition, if company 'A Inc' purchases optical drives from company 'B Ltd' to put in 'A Inc' computers, then 'company A' is the OEM.
An even more confusing, contradictory definition is a company that sells the product of a second company under its own brand name.^[10][3]
Companies who follow the above practices may be better termed value-added resellers (VARs) or resellers, respectively.

Economy of scale

OEMs rely on their ability to drive down the cost of production through economies of scale. Also, using an OEM allows the purchasing company to obtain the needed components or products without owning and operating a factory.

Automotive parts

An automobile part may carry the designation OEM if it is made by the same manufacturer and is the original part used when building and selling the product.^[6] The term aftermarket is often used for non-OEM replacement parts.^[6]

Origin of term

OEM is defined by IBM to refer to "a manufacturer of equipment that may be marketed by another manufacturer".^[1]
The term was used in the early 1960s by Digital Equipment Corporation and its vendors to refer to value-added resellers.^[9]

Change Your Oli

Change That Oil! By Jack Cooper

Carfacts and CHANGING YOUR OIL...
The first thing you should do is go to your local discount auto store or WalMart and purchase your oil and filter.
I would suggest getting a good synthetic or synthetic blend (I have used Castrol Syntec for many years) most good brands have them. Use a synthetic oil for newer vehicles under 40,000 miles and a blend over 40,000 miles. These oils will help with saving your engine and saving fuel. Also purchase a good oil filter, one with a check valve in it to keep oil from running back into oil pan when engine is shut off. This will also help the life of your engine as there will be oil on critical parts when engine is restarted, Fram, AC and Purolator makes good ones.
With this purchase you have the best you can put in your engines oiling system. A typical engine will take 4-5 quarts of oil on a change, so it will cost you around $15.00-$20.00 depending on synthetic or blend oil. This is about the cost of a regular oil change at the Speedy Marts. They would charge $40.00-$50.00 for the synthetics and best filter. So now you have saved $20.00-$30.00 and you have the best you can put in your engine.
Think of your car as one of your children or grand children you want to keep it for a long time so don't skimp on putting good products in it, it will pay off in the long run with less major breakdowns.
Engine repair or the new cars can run from $1,500.00 to around $7,000.00 depending on what you drive. From a Geo Metro to a big SUV or Diesel Pick-up.
O.K. now you have your oil and filter, time to get to work. Find a solid spot on the front or side of vehicle undercarriage (frame or engine cradle) put jack under vehicle and raise it up high enough to get your jack stands under it then let car down on stands and remove jack. Always,always be safe and use the jack stands whenever you are working under your car.
Your engine should be warm when changing your oil so that most of old oil will drain out.
Find the drain plug in the deep end of the oil pan,it will probably take a 1/2" or 9/16" standard closed end wrench, if metric should be a 13mm or 15mm closed end wrench.
Put your wrench on the plug and turn counter clockwise (make sure your drain pan is close) remove plug and let drain into pan. After all the old oil is drained, put the plug back in and tighten (clockwise) make sure this plug is TIGHT.
Then find your oil filter they are in several different places depending on your vehicle and engine, they are located on either one side of the engine or in the front of the engine (belt area). Most filters are now small so get a small or adjustable filter wrench put it on filter (as close to top as possible) it also turns off counter clockwise after it is loose you can take wrench off and spin it off by hand. Have your drain pan under filter area to catch remaining oil. Make sure the old filter rubber seal comes off with filter if not make sure you reach up and pull it off then wipe filter housing clean this makes for a good seal for the new filter. Then fill new filter with some new oil and put some oil around the rubber seal on new filter and spin it clockwise onto filter housing. Make sure it's TIGHT.
Raise your car again and take out jack stands and let car back down.
Raise hood and find oil fill, most will be in the valve cover of the engine or a tube with a cap that says "OIL" on it,remove the cap and add remaining oil to engine (should be around 4 & 1/2 quarts, you put aprox. 1/2 quart in filter). After all oil is put into the engine replace the oil cap and start engine, let it run for a couple of minutes while looking under vehicle to make sure you got everything tight and have no leaks. If your satisfied nothings leaking shut off engine and locate oil dipstick, pull it out then wipe it off clean and stick back into dipstick tube all the way in, then pull back out and make sure it's close to the full mark.
If your oil checks o.k. you are almost done. Make sure you keep a log or put a sticker on windshield when next change is due. Then get an old empty milk jug or something like it and use a funnel and put your old oil in it, seal it tight and take it back to where you bought your oil and they will dispose of it for you.
This sounds like a lot of work but total time if you have never done it before should be less than a half hour. After you do it a few times it will take 10-15 minuets, and you will feel good knowing you actually done this yourself and that you saved money doing it.
More car facts tips will be available on an on going basis here on the carfacts article pages. Also the carfacts newsletter will have numerous carfacts tips in every publication, and when my new carfacts book is published you will have a wealth of carfacts tips at your fingertips.
