E-bay Oxygen Sensors...has anyone used them before?
#2
i need to replace my front bank o2 sensor also, and i wouldnt go on ebay and get my o2 sensor from there unless it was OEM, from what i see, the o2 sensors on ebay dont seem to be OEM, i would recommend getting them from the dealer, might be pricier but you know your getting your moneys worth.

I just bought 2 OEM Walker O2s from oxygensensors.com for ~$114 shipped. You can get universal ones for even cheaper. I was told the difference is with universal ones you need to re-use your old harness. I've taken them off other cars and it is easy to do. Oh and you WILL need an O2 socket.
If you call them and refer to the .org you can get 10% off your order (but not for denso).

Its VERY easy to do that it makes spending that extra $30 or so dollars for an OEM seem like a rip-off.

I thought bosch was the OEM..?..my bosch sensor had a stamp on it that looked just like the nissan emblem.
My $.02....Splice's add resistence to the wiring adding inaccuracy to the sensor, and can corrode in northern states like here (wisconsin). Those little tie downs on the wiring make it hard to remove, and you could easily break a wire if you inadvertantly pulled on it too hard. I vote for the $60 plug and play option.

Plus the area where its cut and inserted into the connector is close to the sensor harness under the engine bay, so the chances of corrosion is minimal if done correctly.
