Is it OME or OEM?
Maybe a stupid question, (I know...there are no stupid questions...just stupid people) but I'm wondering which is the correct acronym when referring to original manufacturer parts, is it OEM or OME? I see it referenced both ways.
Thanks in advance for straightening me out on this.

Re: Is it OME or OEM?
OEM relates to anything that came with the product, cars, computers, anything. It just means it is the original part. Original Equipment from Manufacturer. That's all.

It's a very big difference. Size wise that is.
