O2 sensor gone bad....easy to change yourself?

Sorry, I would have searched, but that function doesn't seem to work.

Anyway, my front O2 sensor trigged a code an needs to be replaced. My question is this:

I have 105k miles now. Should I just get them all replaced or can some O2 sensors out live the car? Also, is replacing them a DIY job?

I appreciate your help...

that O2 sensor is very easy to replace. If you have a bad gas mileage, you should change the 3 o2 sensors if not, ust clean it and re-intall. Its very easy job, i did it in 45 minutes with a few drinks and chick things..jejej

Alright, while this thread is still alive, where can I get O2 sensors for cheap?? CourtesyNissan has them for $117 each. Anything better? Also, does it matter if I get generic ones for 1/2 the price or is OEM needed?
