OEM[edit]

An IP left this in the article after a list of labels including OEM, sourced to Yahoo Finance:

OEM means "origional equipment manufacturer". A CEO would be arrested for misrepresenting sales of OEM parts falsely by claiming it is the name of their company (which no one should believe if said).

OEM in this case stands for "Original Engine Management" which is a trademark owned by Forecast Trading Corp (Standard Motor Products owns Forecast Trading Corp). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.223.138 (talk) 04:03, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
