o2 sensor HELP!!!

Help!!! One of my front o2 sensors is bad, does anyone know where I can get them for a good price in Ontario?.
Also is it a part that I can replace myself or is better to bring it in to the shop? I ask cause I just replaced my air mass meter and for the amount that cost me compared to where it's located and the time to install I might as well have done it myself.

You can do it yourself. Go to an auto store and buy an O2 sensor socket so you can remove it. Use the link that sloppymax posted. Since you're new at it, get an OEM type plug so it's plug and play.

Go here http://www.oxygensensors.com and then go to the FAQs They usually wear out around a 100k miles, but you don't have to replace it until you get a code for it. I'm going to replace mine in a few months b/c my gas mileage isn't that great and I'm at 101k miles.

Yep It should only take 10-15 minutes, but they'll probably charge for an hour's worth of labor. They also have overpriced prices on parts... Do it yourself, not too hard. Just get the O2 sensor socket so you won't have a problem.

All you have to do it unplug the connector and then unscrew the O2 sensor with the socket. Then use the socket to screw in the new sensor and then plug in the connector and you're good to go
