Oxygen sensors

My car has 86,000 miles with the original oxygen sensors, it runs great, any need to replace the sensors or leave well enough alone?

My opinion is leave well enough alone until one goes bad, then replace all.

The Nissan station wagon is the Murano.

my oxygen sensor seems to be hanging off of my car, kinda near the ground. it's been like that for at least 2 months, but i was too lazy to see what it was before. i'm still getting good mileage though, so it must be working. any ideas on how to reattach it?

That new one with the weird name? If so, it's based on a Sentra.

unless you have money growing out of your ****, dont replace them until they show a CEL, they work in a voltage range so yes they might be getting clogged or whatever as they get old, but thats fine as long as they maintain that voltage range

there is a hole where you can tuck it into the underside of the car so it won't get caught on something you drive over.

And if you do come around to replace them - get the Denso ones... they even provide anti-seize lube!

"The Nissan station wagon is the Murano."

Not in my book, its a SUV and I hate SUVs. In 2003 I bought a Toyota Highlander because it was car like to replace my Volvo 940 station wagon and was able to drive it up until this past December when I decided to start driving my wife's Maxima. I like cars and wagons not big wheeled tinted window buses.
The Highlander is super reliable and comfortable but it is not a car. The only options in my mind are Subaru Legacy wagons which I almost bought in 2003 but the seats were very uncomfortable, a V70 Volvo wagon which would have been a reliability nightmare or a VW Passat wagon which I loved to drive but think would have been a maintenance nightmare. The Sentra is not an option in my mind.
