    Hello everyone. My '15 threw up a few dash lights this morning, P0327. I called the local stealership, they want $265 for the sensor. I searched the P/N on line and saw a few dealers doing on-line sales with an average price of $150. Rockauto has the Beck Arnley part with the picture showing a made in Japan Denso unit for about $75. I have no issue with buying the OE part if it a superior part, but I'd like to know what everyone has used when the time came to replace the sensor. TIA.

    2.7L is pretty easy compared to the 4.0L but yea the sensors rarely fail.

    That being said Denso is the OE manufacturer for many Toyota sensors.

    Didnt see the 2.7, that would be a dream compared to the V6

    Still always check harness first with any knock code.
