O2 sensor OEM or aftermarket

Leon 24 February 2005 02:01:23
 It is time to change the oxygen sensor on my 95 civic and I can get a
Bosch with OE connector at less than half of what the Honda dealer
wants for an OEM (Denso?). Is the Bosch a good choice or should I
make the dealer rich?

 I am no expert, but I installed a Bosch 02 sensor in my '91 Civic Si
this past fall and have found it to work fine. The original did not die
(no check engine light), but I suspected it was 'lazy' as described in
the usenet archives and on various webpages. I seem to be doing a little
better economy wise and my idle is more consistent and regular. I guess
I'll see how long it lasts. I had around 135k miles at the time, and the
sensor in the car was OEM style, maybe original. The Bosch sensor is
noticeably different, it has a larger diameter body. If I understand it
correctly, it seems that an 02 sensor wouldn't really have to be OEM
just by its relatively simple design and function.

My $0.02,

Mark

It's more expensive I know, but OEM is a MUST. Aftermarket O2 sensors
are known for not working properly especially in import cars.

The cheapies are fine, but won't last as long as OEM.

How well do aftermarket O2 sensors work in Japan?
Better, since they are domestic?

here, they do everything. put the car on a dyno, plug the big smog
computer into the OBD2 port, check for codes, test at 15 and 25mph, test
the gas cap pressure.
