I need to replace the downstream O2 sensor on my 2013 JK due to a P0137 code. I can get a Bosch oxygen sensor (PN 15510) on Amazon for $21 shipped or a Mopar for close to $80. I generally try to save money by purchasing non-OEM parts when appropriate, but when it comes to electronic parts I tend to go with the OEM just to avoid any compatibility issues. I wanted to see what you thought about brands of O2 sensors. I tried to do a search to see if there were any problematic brands or people generally recommending to go with Mopar due to compatibility issues, but I didn't come up with anything. So I take that as an endorsement of non-OEM parts! Just looking for some experienced feedback. Anyone have troubles with non-OEM O2 sensors?

 

Good question, I recall a post, on another forum during the COVID L/D era, where the person went with the A/M and had ongoing issues .. ultimately put in OEM Mopar and resolved their issues.. Personally I go OEM as much as possible. Just My Opin.

 

I've had plenty of trouble when People bring non-oem sensors or solenoids to my shop. That said, Bosch is usually good. Often they make the oem units. If you use oem then you know it's right though

 

I typically like to stick to factory for any type of sensor if possible. There are a couple things I don't mind paying a higher price for and sensors are one of them.

 

The NKG worked just fine for me. I would highly recommend saving the money and going with the NKG on this one. They are on Rock for the cheapest price. I also went with NKG Spark Plug Wires and had no issues. Both are half price.
