buying o2 sensors...

[dtldiaspora]

alright so i was able to get the codes read on my car and came back malfunctioning o2 sensor, so now the question is, is there a particular brand i should get that will work better or will they all pretty much do the same thing?

upstream or downstream? get a heated one, you can buy them assembled w/wires or not assembled and save some money do it yourself...assembled imo is worth the extra buck

its bank 1 which is the downstream one correct? it was p0135 , but i think i may go ahead and just replace my other one so i wont have to deal with it later on down the road wont hurt to put a new one on

bank 1 describes the sensor that covers the bank containing cylinder #1 or an engine with only 1 upstream sensor. Whether your code is for upstream will be specified as sensor 1 (upstream, before cat) or sensor 2 (downstream, after cat).

well im just more concerned with is there a specific brand i should try to buy or stay away from cause im more than likely just gonna go ahead and buy both
