O2 Sensor Replacement,genuine Or Aftermarket

[al10s]

Hi guys,im getting a code po133 come up seems to be related to the o2 sensor in the dump pipe,being slow to read.Ive pulled the original one out and cleaned it once the code didn't pop back up for a month.So ill replace it,do I have to go to Ford an buy a genuine one or is it ok to buy a bosch or vdo one as sold by a few ebay sellers.Its to suit a fg xr6t mk11 2012,car has 53,000kms on it. Should the sensor last longer,or because I run e85 with an additive or the brad penn oil with a higher zinc content,maybe contaminating it?Any help or suggestions,thanks

On ebay the only one I found was $181.56 + $9 postage. (and I think that seller is normally cheaper than most Ford dealerships).

I'm thinking of going the cheaper bosche one....

Any answers to this guys?????? How long do they typically last?

Also how do you know which sensor is crap? Didn't even realise there is a sensor before and after the cat!!!!
