bosch O2 sensors or OEM sensors?
 

some guy at auto zone told me that bosch supplies nissan with oem O2 sensors. and i looked at him with an odd face. :tard:

is there any truth to it? i honestly wouldnt know if he is bullshyting me or not.

my question now is....are bosch O2 sensors any good for out 4th gens? anyone with bosch o2 sensors installed? ur experiences? i have either 2 choices. i either go with bosch or nissan o2 sensors.

the only reason i wud get the bosch is cuz i can get them at a nasty discounted price from advance auto parts. :wall:

what do u guys think?

i believe bosch does make it for our nissans.


how much is it ur getting it for/ can u hookme up a brand new one????

i can get it for 20% off whateva their price is...maybe a lil bit more. i used to work for dem so i still use whatever discount i can


any other inputs?

you must work there. I do too and bought one 20% off and it worked fine.

anyone else? chime in...

I just put 2 bosch o2 sensors in and they seem to work fine. just make sure you get the oe connector not universal, easier to install and stuff.

yeh they are good sensors, i brought a few from autozone myself.

Yes bosch does make the oem o2 sensors. I just bought 2 bosch universal o2's and they work great.:D

It's for a volvo, but you get the general idea. The guy MAY have been correct.

You didn't read what some of us already said huh?:squint: I've personally seen quite a few OEM o2 sensors come off of maximas and they were bosch.

nismology.....u live off of 160th rite?

Nissan doesn't make O2 sensors or for that matter any other sensor in your car.
Nissan doesn't make paint.
Nissan doesn't make glass.
Nissan doesn't make oil, or any other fluid you put in your car.
Nissan does't make any of the material in the interrior of your car.

Nissan designs and BUILDS engines and cars.
Subcontractos provide Nissan with the materials they need to accomplish that task.

They sure do, I bought the same o2's, but... for about 2 1/2 times cheaper than you did :) :newbie:

:grinno: :grinno:

lol brand new 2 front o2's for $48 shipped

me too :werd:

from where ?

Deals over now, too late

i work at autozone as well and i have never had anyone complain about them. Either bosch or NGK makes our o2 sensors, i think bosch does.

Thank you :jump:

well can someone hook up some for me?
thanks.

Actually I did read some of what you have already said. The only proof any person had was their word. I was providing actual proof that they supply these parts to :slap:

It's not the link i had the problem with, even though i thought it was sorta irrelevant. It's just that you said that guy at autozone "MAY" be right when quite a few of us in this thread or others have said that bosch makes the OEM o2's for us. I thought it was pretty common knowledge actually...:shrugs:

DI2F's.....:squint:

Same topic different question
 

Are you planning to change all three sensors? I have heard the one after the CAT is not really required. Is that true?

yea im gonna change all 3. mite as well do them now than later even though theyre all good.

even tho my cel isnt on for any o2 sensor....i want to chenge em in the weeks to come.

you first :goofy:

Hmmmm
 

Thinking ahead...nice.

Anyone know if that is true? I have hole in my exhaust and I can put in a new CAT-back system with the O2 sensor hole which is expensive or without the O2 sensor hole which is much cheaper. If the last O2 sensor is not really doing anything then I would like to save the money. Thoughts???

Bosch is the OE supplier of virtually every O2 sensor in every car. Bosch invented the O2 sensor BTW.

i just picked up one from autozone, they had the universal for 55 dollars and the oem for 85 which i brought. they lent me the tool and it took me five minutes to change.
