I'm no expert on aftermarket stuff but I do tend to stick with stuff that has proven itself to me. If it works, why change? Sure it may be cheaper but after 340k km why bother changing? It seems to be working for you!!

Not to open a can of worms since this has been discussed around these forums with vigor and passion...but I have bought the COPs off eBay and installed them. They have gone for 10s of thousands of miles without fail. The cost of the COPs on eBay is about 1/10 the cost of the OEM ones.

I was about to make this same reference. I have a spare COP for my 2004 Expedition that I bought from the dealer and it cost me $109.00 over the counter. The COP's at AZ cost about $55.00.
