Apparently a ton of auto parts on Amazon are counterfeit, even small items.
I read a post on a BMW site a couple months ago about fake spark plugs.
Someone bought a bunch of different Bosch, NKG, etc. and tested them. A shocking (pun intended) percentage of them were fake. They had detailed pictures of the construction differences, and they also tested the materials. The fake Bosch coppers, for instance, had no copper.
Anyways, my takeaway was to never buy auto parts on Amazon (and I'm a huge Amazon buyer).
