My car had the "Check Engine" light on for many months while I was waiting until I had the money to fix the "Oxygen Sensor" 2 problem. I was very disappointed when I replaced 1st) the "flex pipe" on the exhaust system and 2nd) the resonators at the end of the exhaust pipes (my car has two!) --- and my car still didn't pass inspection because the "Check Engine Light" was STILL ON! The Inspection Station let me off (i.e., gave me the inspection sticker, but told me to get this fixed as soon as possible). However, I was still kind of worried driving around all winter with the "Check Engine Light" on. Now that the "Check Engine Light" is off, I am no longer worried my car will break down at any time! Since I didn't actually install the product [Premium Oxygen Sensor, manufactured by Bosch), I am not aware of the great or not so great characteristics of this particular part, as compared to other brands. However, I know Bosch is a good brand and I also know my "Check Engine Light" is now off! So I am a satisfied Advance Auto Parts customer. I also have a new mechanic who I trust -- which is important to me since I am a woman and I know some mechanics like to cheat women because they realize many of us don't know a lot about cars. . .

Comments about Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor:
Got a P0135 engine code in my 2001 Focus. Pulled old sensor out & brought it with me. Replacement has a larger diameter body, but the threads and plug connector are the same. Didn't even have to remove the heat shield to remove/ install sensor. Reset code w/ Actron reader, car has been fine since.

Q:
I have a 2001 f-250 with the 5.4 and all I see is two o2 sensers one coming down from the right and one coming down the left and nothing after the converter.so witch is the upstream and down stream?Asked on 4/13/2013 by haf2fsh from ida,mi1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
With reference to your query on Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor part# 15717, the location of oxygen sensors is follows: If your 2000 Ford F-150 truck has a true dual-exhaust system--with two independent mufflers, catalytic converters, etc.--then there will be a total of four oxygen sensors, two on each exhaust manifold, immediately before and after each catalytic converter. If the truck has a single exhaust system, there are two sensors, located before and after the catalytic converter on the exhaust manifold. The O2 sensor before the catalytic converter will be the upstream sensor and the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter will be the downstream sensor. For any further assistance, please feel free to call us at: 1-877-238-2623 or visit the nearest Advance Auto Parts store and one of our Parts Pros will gladly assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.Answered on 4/13/2013 by Vincent from AAP
Q:
I have a 2005 Ford Explorer, with a 4.0 Flex Fuel Engine. It currently has 193K miles, on it. It is showing the following DTCs:
P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175, P0193, P0401 and P0430. I'mn not sure what the recommended replacement interval, for the 02 sensors, are, and the EGR code has been on for a while. Since the EGR and sensor are an integral unit, I have that to replace, but just wondered if I should replace all 4 02 sensors as well.Asked on 1/17/2013 by Bob from Newton Falls, OH1 answer
