But for my 1999 Oldsmobile even the ones on Amazon are probably authentic.

They worked fine in my 1995 Escort for a long time. Like 80K miles.I was mainly kidding about junky Champion plugs which I do not recommend!
Every engine I have put Champions in since 1975 did not run well. Back to NGK or Bosch and all was well.They worked fine in my 1995 Escort for a long time. Like 80K miles.
I don't drive foreign makes. I think that's the difference.Every engine I have put Champions in since 1975 did not run well. Back to NGK or Bosch and all was well.
I wouldn't trust even that. People will buy authentic parts from Amazon, return them with fake parts, and then Amazon re-sells them as brand new, and then you get the fake parts, while the scammer is laughing with the real parts.
This is almost certainly true. The scary part is, the company does not necessarily need to do anything wrong to end up in a situation where they are selling counterfeit products.
And I don't think it's limited to only Amazon. Rock Auto, Walmart, Napa, Advance Auto, etc. Basically any retailer that accepts returns will not be able to spot these very convincing fake parts and return them to their inventory.
An honest company would at least label the item as returned item, open box, and offer a discount on it. I remember Best Buy used to do this a long time ago in store.
I've seen that for open box items, but I believe that unused/unopened goes right back on the shelf.
