Ok, I tried doing a search for this, but it wouldn't display any relavant information. O2 is too short to search for, so I tried Oxygen, but that was a no go. and Sensor didn't pick anything up... anyway, here we go.


I'm going to be replacing my two O2 sensors in the very near future. I belive it'll give me a boost on gas mileage. (When I first bought my car, I was averaging 400 miles to the tank... now I'm sitting at 300 if I'm very lucky).

Also: I'm going to be swapping out the belts on my car. I have a completely stock '97 Accord LX (non-VTEC) engine w/ AC & power stearing.

Anyway... What is a fairly good (but cost effective) set of O2 sensors to purchase? And what type of belts should I get? I've been hearing good things about the GoodYear Gatorback's... any truth to this?

Oh, and if you'd really like to help out, what serial number for each of those? I went to AutoZone today for Gatorback belts, and they gave me the wrong ones... Same thing happened at a smaller local Auto shop.

I only run oem honda belts on both of my honda and they never fail me.
ask around, oem is the shizzle.

o2 sensor should restore some of the gas problem. Try to adjust the valve clearance while you at it.
the oem clip on(direct replacement, no solder no nothing) cost about 120 from honda plus tax. A oem-quality o2 sensor runs around 80 at autozone, you might need to solder it, no biggie if you use the iron before.

i have two o2 sensor for sale by the way, 4 wires type for my obd2 accord 2002

Be very careful when doing the valve adjustment, never ever set them too tight, you will be worse off than what you started with and spend a thousand bucks to fix. Valve clearances set too tight can damage your valves really fast.

Damn I got rip off!! When I bought my o2 sensor I got charged $220 from the Honda dealer.
