Denso is the OE for AC Compressor, at least for my F10. Never replaced it since new, just had to replace the magnetic clutch few months ago after 7 years. The AC specialist I went to (also worked on my E39), they also suggested Denso for my AC compressor because it is serviceable.
I put a remanufactured Autozone on mine in a pinch because that’s all the was available. Never trusted it. Replaced it about a year later with the Denso remanufactured for peace of mind.… when I took the autozone one off the bearing was squeaking pretty bad. Denso has given me zero problems, going on about 4 years.
Denso and other OEM for me. When insurance wanted to throw Napa parts at my radiator replacement destroyed by a napping squirrel in the fan assy, I ponied up the difference to go with the Denso and mechanic confirmed it was a solid choice.
Fix: New heater core. Parts: (for me) -Heater core for me Denso, not Valeo, you must check which your car needs. (PN 3c0819031a) found on Amazon (Spectra Premium 98030) shipped to my door on prime for $62.36. Mine came with the foam, the seals, and new clamps.
Yes definitely get the original OEM Denso plugs and be really cautious of anything you purchase off Amazon a lot of them are counterfeits. You can either go direct to the Toyota dealer or you can go to your local parts store like Napa and just make sure you order the correct Denso Plug.
The plugs look really good pretty even color across all of them no major carbon buildup. Wear on the plug seems typical for 100,000 miles.
While you are in the cabin, order some Denso charcoal cabin air filters (RockAuto) for your model, open the glove compartment, squeeze the sides together to unlatch them from dash, and inspect, vacuum the filter housing behind the glove compartment and then replace with a new filter. You’ll breathe much better.
Aisin water pump, Mitsuboshi or Bando belts, and replace the radiator as a preventative measure with a Denso unit.
I put in a reman denso starter in my 06 Titan back in 2017. Still working great!
Honda Alternators are crazy expensive. I don\u2019t recommend aftermarket unless you can get a Denso.
The MVP radiator and the Denso aftermarket are identical, both say Denso. The main difference between the OEM and the MVP/Denso is the OEM is 2 Core with a radiator thickness of 1.075 inches thick. The Denso is 1 Core with a radiator thickness of 0.663 inches thick. I measured the thickness using a digital caliper. Another difference is the transmission connection lines, the MVP/Denso looks like a cheaper aluminum, and the OEM is a heftier non aluminum metal. As a side note, after searching the internet and YouTube, some people have leaks at the radiator line after a couple of years with the Denso aftermarket ones. Next time I will be sticking with the OEM model, I just don’t have time to return the Denso and order another OEM one.
