I bought Aisin brand instead of Nissan OEM parts, hopefully they're as good or better.
That\u2019s what I have in mine and I\u2019ve had zero issue with the water pump.
Hard to say if it’s directly OE to Subaru, but I use Aisin thermostats and water pumps on every Subaru engine I do, they function the exact same and are equally as reliable as the original equipment, not to mention these thermostats are $15 on amazon compared to $40 from Subaru.
Water pump and timing belt done with OEM Aisin kit (March 2024)
Just replaced my water pump and thermostat on my 2015. Aisin pump, which is oem was $150 on amazon. $40 for the thermostat. Super easy to replace yourself. Especially if they want $4000 to do it.
Buy an Aisin kit, but get it from Rockauto.
Like others have said, the Aisin kit is quality.
Aisin is a reputable brand.
I initially bought an AISIN kit but they decided to return it for the factory Honda pieces. It was about $200 but I didn't want to lose sleep over it.
I installed it myself and I think my total dollar cost was around $550 or so including replacing the water pump, any torqued fasteners, and the Honda coolant.
Replaced with Asin, failed in 7k miles. The propeller disintegrated on the second one.
