What brand of O2 sensors do you guys recommend? i called 2 local auto parts stores and they only carry Bosch brand sensors
and i heard those were good but not for Toyotas. so what brand do you guys recommend?

My a-parts stores/A-zone, Advance carrys Bosch also.
Pep Boys usually gets parts from NAPA here in Tampa FL.
I wonder what NAPA carrys?

I wonder who the MFG is for the factory?
Sometimes MFG's use parts from vendors.

Haven't heard anything negative....
You might think an O2 sensor must meet a universal standard.
What have you heard about Bosch and Toyota?-Bob

DjDannyXL

so far i saw 2 ppl online say that they throw out all types of different codes. and i also read to stay away from universal

Why not replace it with an OEM one?

DjDannyXL

Jon

The dealer. Or here: http://www.trademotion.com/parts/200...XYGEN%20SENSOR

is it the one that says front pipe? for 114$ ?

Jon

You have 2 so you're going to need to figure out which one is bad.

DjDannyXL

its the rear o2 sensor

Jon

Then yeah it's the front pipe location.

DjDannyXL

alright. thanks

Here's some questions....

On your exhaust system, does it have a different thread pattern for the front one versus the rear one? Do they have the same part number?

As a test, can they be interchanged to see which one is bad?
or how did you determine which one was bad?-Bob

Are you sure its the rear o2 sensor that's bad? How do you know? The primary o2 sensor is usually the one that will go bad and need to be replaced. The rear o2 sensor usually doesn't need to be replaced. It could also be that your catylitic converter in the exhaust manifold is bad, which is most likely the case..

O2 sensors aren't cheap, esspecially the primary... Better make sure its not the cat first...

I made the mistake of purchasing another primary, only to find out it was actually my cat. Lol, so I guess anyone that actually needs a primary o2, I got an extra...

And no, the primary and secondary o2 sensors are NOT interchangeable

DjDannyXL

I got code p0420 ...my car has 80k miles and i was told theres really no real reason why the cat would go out that early. That code could also be the rear o2 sensor

What's your setup? Header !? Intake? Non-oem header will throw that code

Best price I found and OEM replacement is Rockauto.com. Better price than universal ones locally too!
