New O2 Sensor from Autozone or Dealership
I am needing a new O2 sensor for my 2001 F150 (4.6 L ). Should I buy the generic one from Autozone or pay the extra bucks for one at the dealership
??
Thanks
Brent

They are both Bosch get it where it is cheaper, obviously not at the dealer.

Yep, both are made by Bosch. I have had no trouble with the ones from AutoZone.

When I was looking for mine IIRC, NAPA had either the rears or the fronts cheaper than anyone else and advanced auto had the other set the cheapest. One will be around $45 and the other $55, seems like the rears are more but I can't remember for sure.

The rears are probably more, because they hardly ever get replaced. More sales = lower cost.
