Ignition Coil - OEM or Aftermarket

[nicheel8]

I need a new Ignition Coil. Would you guys go Genuine Toyota or Aftermarket? Also, should I replace all 3?

Local dealership has them for $75.00

This OEM Denso 673-1201 coil is identical for $58 on Amazon. I would ONLY use Toyota or Denso (Denso is Toyota subsidiary that made them in the first place.) A Chinese knockoff in such a mission-critical application does not warm my heart. It would work, but for how long? I would replace only the bad one. The vast majority of these will outlive the engine they are in.

Now, if you had an Audi, I'd say swap them all and keep a full reserve stock on hand. (GF's A4 drives me nuts....)

Thanks Durk! I may buy 2, one for a backup.
