Proper parts for the right jobs

This is a quick post about a common problem I'm running into while repairing and a lot of automotive technicians will tell you the same.
The aftermarket is huge for parts and it always seems be overwhelming on parts that cost so much money from the dealer. But. For some jobs you should always put a factory part in
The main idea I'm getting at is spark plugs, you should always 100% of the time replace them with factory reccomended plugs. You may think a spark plug is a spark plug and it very well should be. But unfortuantly in this world its not . Engines were designed with a certain plug and many will have suttle issues from replacing them with others.
Also sensors important to emmission control such as oxygen sensor and mass air flow sensors these parts are important to be made to exact tolerances to give your engines computer the right information .
So I didn't mean to sound preachy but I just really wanted people to know that for spark plugs and wires and important sensors are really a part that should remain factory orientated.
