let me think on that..

NO.. not if what you are saying is true..

oem - no maintance reset light (you may or may not use it but its one less working feature of your car)

non oem - keeps all stock shit...

IF the real ctr one really lacks that oil change reminder light then this is one case where oem is not the best choice.. imho..
plus im SURE it was hella more expensive

When i refer to stock parts i mean replacing it with CTR parts. I think OEM is the best for reliability/dependability/bang for buck. I feel confident knowing that im replacing a honda part with another honda part. Not that JDM companies like spoon, mugen, toda..and so on arent bad either.
