Camshaft Sensor Part

I have a P0345 Cam shaft sensor code bank 2..Looking to replace..Should i just pay the $$$ and get the part straight from the dealer or can i use the Duralast part from auto zone?? Probably will keep this car for 1 more year.

Aftermarket sensors, both camshaft and crankshaft, seem to be a hit or miss in quality and long life. While it is more expensive to buy, the Nissan sensors are the best.

OEM is probably best however I took a shot with Autozone parts back in April. Replaced both camshaft sensors and the Vehicle speed sensor in the transmission, has been great so far.

Replace with OEM. I tried a non OEM cam position sensor and it threw a P0011 code. Bought an OEM and no issue
