If you do know that OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer" then you are using the acronym incorrectly.
The OEM would have been Ford Chev, Dodge Honda Nissan etc. If the box does not have their Logo on it it is not OEM.
So you just ranted about how bad OEM parts are and didn't have any OEM parts. What you had were "After Market" and I bet they were "White Box" parts with no attributable manufacturer.
You really should complain about the cheapo parts store that sold you the junk and claimed it was "OEM Equivalent".
No doubt you were ripped off, just complain about who ripped you off, not the OEM part manufacturers that are proud to put their name on the box.
By the way, there are good after market parts, look for the well printed boxes and a slightly higher price.
