Trying to fix my son's vehicle. I'm trying to order parts and have run across a problem. I've got OEM part numbers that are supposed to same part that fits the car. These are all gasket sets but range from $43.00 to $84.00. 20910bb03, 2092025a00a, 2092025d00a, 209102go00a, can't find difference between them. I've run across several like these. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, we can sometimes find part numbers through All Data, where are you buying your parts from and what gaskets are you trying to find? Sometimes the manufacturer will have updated parts and some parts distributor will still sell whatever they have in inventory, even if it's not the updated part number. But we can look up the part by name and most likely give you the original OEM number.

All these parts were in stock. I wanted to know where I could find the differences or if it mattered and just go with the least expensive.

Oh okay, well we can't really tell you differences in part quality except that if it's OEM then it's going to be the closest to stock(manufacturer) as possible. Besides that, there's no way to be absolutely sure it's original. There are companies that try to fake parts and make them look like OEM.
