Default Oxygen sensor on 1997 prelude

I needed a new front O2 sensor, and was charged 200$ just for the part, and now they tell me i need a new rear one too, for the same price. Now I notice that at autozone they sell a O2 sensor for my car for only 80$. Can a normal person change the O2 sensor themselves? or should bend over and take it at the shop?

They're easy to change. Just get a universal 4-wire for $60 from http://www.oxygensensors.com & wire it up yourself.

WTF. your car is covered under an emissions ewxstension warranty. all 96-97 hondas have a 14 year or 150,000 mile warranty on all emission related issues.

your O2 is covered. parts and labor will be free.

this is if your milage is below 150,000 miles

he is absolutely right, i drive a 97 ss lude and the trans decided to throw itself down the toilet, so the emissions warranty made it be FREE OF CHARGE FOR REPLACEMENT, and it is all good. A trans with 3 year warranty, can't beat that.

That warranty exists, i am only at 59k miles, so i am good for another 100k
