02 sensor tech question

Ok...i hooked up my o2 sensor to a oscilliscope today(to the white wire) and it showed 'lean' all the time, and the line had very small ripples in it and thats it. Wasnt regestering a voltage. Plus my 02 has 170k on it so im pretty sure its dead anyway. Well, being that a new one is 100 dollars special order from autozone, my question is--is there any difference in the signal this o2 sensor for my max sends than the signal any other 02 sensor sends? cuz i can get a regular heated 02 sensor for about 30 bucks and change the connector couldnt i if they send the same signal?
Thanks,

I highly recommend staying with an OEM or Bosch replacement sensor..
that $30 guy will probably last a few months at most. if you replace it with a bosch sensor, it'll last you another 100k miles.

LOL, the O2 Sensor will only read stoich at a very specific reading. about 14.2:1 air/fuel ratio or something like that. Have you ever seen the lean/rich curve that the O2 Sensor has? it looks like an integral symbol.

Im not sure what you're trying to say...
but from what iv seen, a normal 02 sensor reading will jump from low to high voltage once it starts working. Every one iv tested does this, but mine when i hook up the voltmeter stays at .23_ all the time(with car thoroughly warmed up).
