Is there a difference between Honda OEM Denso O2 sensor vs aftermarket Denso?
I have 2 questions.. my primary sensor went bad long time ago and i've been running on secondary sensor for a while but it started to throw codes lately and i'd like to replace it. it cost much more to get secondary for some reason.
1. whats the difference between primary and secondary? is there a difference in voltage signal? why do they charge more for secondary?
2. is there a difference in specs when it comes to Denso sold by Honda vs Denso sold at some auto parts store?

u can swap them from from secondary to primary if u want, honda ones come with the plug for the harness and the auto zone ones dont, thats why honda charges alot more.
