What is the best O2 sensor to buy and how much does it cost, thanks

 

OEM ONLY

 

why though? I just called a buddy and he said to get Bosch

 

bosch are ****
oem/denso is the only way you should go
http://www.sparkplugs.com has denso units at great prices

DO NOT buy a bosch

 

(i've bought two bosch's ... no problems yet... ) can the above back up your argument as to why they are ****?!?! i'm open to suggestions

 

I just called autozone and they said somewhere around $70, thats alot

 

theyre **** because they throw codes for things that arent happening (rich,lean,bad cat)
They dont last
they fall apart
I bought one that didnt last for more than 2months before going bad - others have had similar experiences

yup i just came from honda today new 0s sensor is 279$ plus tax...

 

screw that, thats highway robbery

 

I got a denso oem fit and it works great. It also helped improve my gas mileage.

oem IS denso

 

I have been using a universal one, bosch i think, for like a year and a half with no problem. For 40$ it is worth it

 

DENSO, high quality OEM build

 

Bosch's tend to switch more slowly as the ECU is commanding a rich/lean condition and it'll usually lead to an overall rich condition with the ECU sometimes setting a Code 43/45 (whichever is for fuel supply system). So they actually work 'good' for turbo applications or applications where running rich is alright.

But for stock, OEM/Denso.

And $300 for an OEM - is that for the Vx O2 sensor or something? OEM online is like $160 or so.

 

Well I can assure you that the 02 sensor for the VX is near $300. I bought the Bosh from Autozone and have had no problems with it. Well I seem to have a main relay problem now, but I dont think that the 02 sensor caused that. 13 years and 250K miles can do just about anything to a stock engine.

 

check this place out. http://oxygensensors.com/

 

that place rips you off

 

Here is an ebay ad for Denso O2 sensors for 50 bucks.

If you guys say these cost $160, is this too good to be true?

 

For that price, it may just be a universal, with no plug

I have a previous thread were I was having problems with an O2 sensor. Checked out http://www.oxygensensors.com and ordered a Denso for I believe 90 bucks.

 

B, since i have been having o2 issues lately too...ive been looking around and Bosch like ive always said are ****...completey horse ****...Denso OEM fit is the best bet and works well. Ill be replacing mine soon too

+2

got my Walker from there and I now get 32MPG on the highway

 

i've used/installed more Bosch O2 sensors than i can count.never had a problem out of any of them.on all my own cars i've used them on,i've always gotten above average fuel economy,so no problem there either.
i'm a big fan of OEM parts,so if you can afford it,go with it.as far as just about any other replacement part,i ONLY use OEM stuff.since this isn't a part that could cause huge problems if it failed(like a timing belt for instance),i go with the aftermarket ones.
