2000 SOHC new O2 Sensors

[bluestream1]

I finally decided I would change my OEM O2 upstream sensors with new Bosch units, after 280,000KM. I was not getting codes, but kept reading how they get lazy and bring MPG down, and have been tossing this around for years Got them on Rockauto for $25 or so.

Well, it made much more difference than I ever expected. I would guess 15% better hwy mileage, and maybe more. The city mileage is better, but not nearly as much as highway. If your thinking of doing this, its not too bad a job, Right side need to take the fender liner out.

Yes it is not that hard, I had to do the r/s upstream on our 99 Sport w/4.0 SOHC & I removed the r/s front tire & the water shield & was able to replace it that way.

Been on the fence about trying this for close to a year now. I think you sold me. I may have to order a set next paycheque.

Well done!
On the 5.0 you need to remove the center console and remove the access panel under the carpet. Did it a few months ago. PITA.
