One funny thing I found out is that Autozone will pull codes for you but won't clear them. The guy said it's because people would go to Autozone, get their codes cleared then go get a state inspection. Kinda funny.
Definately spring for the OEM sensor.

Funny that people are doign that, you can clear the codes just as well by pulling the negative battery terminal for a min or two.
