But a lot of stuff is available as white label stuff, ie: the starter cost the same as any other car starter when I got the generic Bosch version.
DIYer advice: when I go on RockAuto's website, I see that Bosch offers 2 different starter motors: one for the manual, with 0.8 kW, and one for the automatic, with 1.0kW (click on the Info buttons for that information).
I had the same issue with my 2016 V6 Touring. I followed the instructions on the TSB, replaced the starter with a Duralast Gold starter from Autozone ($400), & replaced the alternator (OEM) at the dealership. No issues at all. It has been over a year and a half.
I replaced on my 2016 with a brand new Bosch. In 2019. Still going strong
I have the Bosch Starter for my 3.0, my last replacement from autozone that was 200+ didn’t even last 2 years, Bosch still going strong and I have cheap duratrash as a backup in my tool chest but it’s been collecting dust!!
I've gotten in the habit of installing the smaller, lighter, more powerful DL9990S in all of my older small block trucks that use the big heavy 3510 series starters. Never once had an issue with them.
One was from rock auto and was new Bosch. It looked different than the one in the car but matched overall length and teeth. The other one was a rebuilt bosch from advance auto. They tested it for me in house before I left. I can hear the gear spin but not engaging.
I think the napa one is most likely to last more than 10 minutes. But my car is on its 5th starter with barely over 100k miles because the previous owners mechanic kept using anything but Bosch.
Replaced the starter with a remanufactured one from AutoZone. Looking back, it never seemed right; it would start okay, but sometimes it seemed to turn slower than other times. So, bad Duralast remanufactured starter apparently.
If your past 3 starters were genuine honda, they suck. Get a duralast. They actually last and work consistently compared to honda oem.
