Oxygen sensor help
I did a search on oxygen sensor and 02 sensor and it said that no threads could be found.. I find that odd being this has to be one of many hot topics in the 5th gen forum..
I just need to know is there a difference between the primary and secondary sensor, also what brand is a good one to go with? I was looking around on ebay and i seen a few so has anyone had good luck with those..

Did you try OxygenSensors.com? I bought all mine there and they are great. Good prices and plug-and-play replacements.
As for the "all or just the broken," I replaced mine as the codes went off, however I think I ended up replacing them all within a 9-month period.

My experience with O2 sensor "failures"
I would not rush into a replacement. I suggest you:
This is how I fixed my problem (codes p0138, p0139, and p0430, but the car was running just fine).
I was about to order a replacement sensor when I received this advice. After an overnight disconnect, all by codes and CEL light went away and never came back.
background/reasons: It seems that the thresholds for triggering the codes/CEL are too tight (like 5%), with the result that the ECU may indicate a malfunction when in reality, nothing is wrong.
- Disconnect the battery overnight.
- Optionally, clean the "engine ground" contacts.
