Again, just because it says OEM means nothing as there are maybe 4 brands that make OEM 180 stats.

there are several OE makers on the market, but there is only one OEM. A small but important distinction.

I would second the in line recommendation.

I cannot say anything else but it does what they says, 185 - 189 when driving, 199-201 when idling ( that is down from 202 / 228 before )
I am thinking of buying a spare one just in case...
