HELP! O2 Sensor for '98 Civic HX is WAY Expensive! Try $475 retail!!
I need to replace my upper O2 sensor in my 1998 HX coupe (5-speed manual, totally stock). Because it's a 5-wire O2 sensor, it is ridiculously priced ($475 retail, about $360 discounted). The P/N is 36531-P2M-A01. Does anyone have a used HX O2 sensor they're willing to sell (from, say, a header installation, or an engine swap discarding the HX engine?). Any other ideas? Please help!!

Did you try aftermarket from Kragen/Autozone? I know I just bought mine for my 97 Dx for $79.

have used them three times. never any problems.
i have an o2 from them in the b-sir. been there for a year and a half. no issues.
try this: 289.99 little better than the 475 you were looking at.

Looks like $289.99 will be the best I can do, but it isn't OEM.
Regarding warranty on the HX, nothing is under warranty any more at 130K miles and 6+ years old.
Regarding DX & universal sensors for $90, the entire issue here and my point is that this is not the same sensor, it is a weird frickin' FIVE-wire sensor, and somehow that extra wire has to quadruple the price. A normal sensor will not work for my application.
Oh well (sigh), thanks for the suggestions anyway.

If you guys are interested even though this isn't the for sale forum, I have a brand new from HOnda L2H2 o2 sensor, which is the same sensor but with a little shorter harness. $210 shipped.
