HiWhen replacing O2 sensors do they have to be OE or can they be aftermarket?

Have you reset the computer with a scanner? And yes, you can use an aftermarket.

Joe-Joe, I prefer OEM not imitation, if its not the real deal I don't deal-its an options if you cannot afford the best, just hope it works like the best. You can confirm it if its doing its job by viewing the data stream of the scantool-

That is my choice too, Raz. I agree, but can't always afford them.
