Just bought NTK oxygen sensor for 61 shipped--RockAuto

[Sleepyhead97]

Hey, I spent a few days searching around, mulling whether or not I wanted to buy universal oxygen sensors or new ones. I opted for new complete oxy sensors because when I try to remove the old one, I bet money the plastic will crumble.

I went to RockAuto, and found that they sell 25013 NTK oxygen sensor (original equipment) for 59.00 bux, and 2 dollars shipping. This is about half the price I am finding anywhere else.

Bought the Elm327 for 10 bux shipped, read the OBD codes, Bank 2 sensor 2 p0156. Cake.

Swapped the sensor out today.

A 22mm closed ended wrench is required (unplug the 02 sensor, and thread the plug through the closed end of the wrench). I tried to use an o2 socket, it just bent and deformed the nut portion of the 02 sensor. Went to harbor freight and picked up a set of metric wrenches.

Slapped the wrench once with the hammer and it came loose.

Check Engine light went off on its own once the sensor was replaced.

All 02 sensors on my car are stamped NTK.
