Too Afraid to Ask

Original equipment means the parts that the car maker puts on the car when it's new, not parts added later by other companies.

Technical Definition

Original equipment refers to parts that come installed on a vehicle from the factory, as opposed to aftermarket parts which are added later by other manufacturers.
