Default Oxygen sensor

On a 92, i was going to replace the oxygen sensors. I was told to make sure and buy the original brand instead of the Bosch. Is the original brand the Denso for around $26.00? Thanks.

The OEM is AC-Delco, not Denso.

but I have yet to have a problem with the Bosch sensor I have been using (right side got ruined by oil and I needed a quick replacement). With more time I would have gotten AC-Delco.

Everyone has said that the Bosch replacement is no good but I haven't had any problems with it since I replaced the sensor with the Bosch. Although I would have gotten the AC Delco if it was available when I needed it, I can't see a reason now to avoid the Bosch....it works well for me.

I tried Bosch on my 95 and they were crap. I am now using Densos with no problems. Dont know if they are better than the ACs but they have already outlasted the Bosch.

I'd go with AC/Delco-Delphi or Denso, personally.

Do yourself a favor, go to Sears and get a Craftsman 7/8" stubby wrench. You'll need it for the drivr side sensor. You'll get to them best from under the car. Get the exhaust pipes warm (but not hot) before you start.

I used the OE type AC-Delco sensors.

And don't forget the anti-seize compound. They don't always remember to pack it with the new sensors.

My AC Delco sensors had a dry anti-seize compound already on the threads.

I got my OEM O2s (4 wire) for my '95 from a forum-friendly Chevy dealer that I've been told I'm not allowed to mention on here anymore. Full dealer price was around $80 per and I got them for a little over $40 each.

I'm sure they were a "Superior" Chevrolet operation... Can we use pig Latin to say it?...

I dunno. Call their customer service department and find out. I ordered an EGR valve from them (Delphi) back in May and they shipped the same day. I had my part in less than two days.
