Honda parts
I have a question about parts, is there really a BIG difference between OEM parts from hondaautomotiveparts and from autozone? Seems like .hondaautomotiveparts charges our for shipping and handling. other then that the price between the two is the same.

Yes, the difference is RELIABILITY of what you are installing ... and that it will fit/work correctly. Minor tune-up items, oil (not tranny fluid), etc. get where ever ... parts that you don't want to have to replace again in a few months or a year ... get from the OEM when it comes to Honda.

Items like Water pumps, timing belts & tensioners, thermoststs stay with OEM Honda. It's not worth the trouble if you have a problem with these. Buy them at a discount online.
Brake pads, Alternator's, rotors , wheel bearings go aftermarket.
I work for one of the Japanese big three and their is a big difference between OEM and aftermarket parts for what I'll call critical engine and cooling components.
If it can riun your engine or leave you on the side of the road, stay with OEM.
