Get the OE type sensors because those are the original equipment and they come with the wiring harness so you can just plug and play rather than having to splice the wires which you have to do with all the other brands. Good website too...I got my o2 sensor from them last month and it was fast shipping and good product.

 

which part # do i get for the cali spec?

 

Yo Brian, why do you want to change all 4? Is thier something wrong... I can help you if you like Im me Or Pm Me!!

 

After 100k miles, these things are on their deathbeds. An o2 sensor is one of those things that may still work, but not near peak performance. I have to laugh when people change their plat. spark plugs every 30k, but never worry about their o2 sensor until a CEL comes on.

 

how much does the OE sensors cost? my CEL came on and needs to change 2 sensors i believe. the guy at the shop quoted me over $100 each.

 

That sounds about right. oxygensensors.com is a little cheaper.

 

well when i got my inspection.... they changed my o2 sensor for like 130$... and now the same code is back up... i'm gonna go back and let them know... will they have to get me a new o2 sensor if the car is reading the same CEL code?

 

I got my codes pulled at AZ.

0138 & 0139

They seem to point to the same sensor the rear one. AZ would have had to order it...... but i went to Auto Medic Supply (866)441-7039
http://www.oxygensensors.com

It was just under $90, but they were more precise (than AZ) about which sensor it was and I felt more comfortable.

I ordered one maybe i should have gotten all. Should arrive Saturday.

 

ok i just got done with installing 1 o2 sensor. total cost was $358ish ($160 for parts, $130 for labor, and $55 to check why CEL was on) did i get ripped off?

 

Yes you got ripped off...

o2 sensor price I can pull for about $100....the labor should not cost $130...more like $80 bucks which is usually the hr rate dealerships go by...not that installing an o2 sensor will take 1 hr...but most dealerships have to charge a minimum of 1hr even if the work takes 10 minutes (which is how long it will take to change out an o2)....and the whole CEL thing sounds about right...I know some 5th gens require ECM reflashing when new o2s are installed...so $55 is right on...
