Did that yesterday. What should I be expecting anyways... extra 2~3 mpg or maybe a little smoother running engine?

It depends if your old one was defective. I have made it a point to include changing it after a specific amount of miles. Just like your sparkplugs, the sensor needs to be functioning properly to receive maximum performance.
:cheers:
Did you notice any smoothness to the engine performance after the change? :seeya

Hey, it is running a lot smoother. It also does seem like I'm getting more mileage, from what the trip computer says anyways. :cheers:

Like the others have said, if your old ones had a lot of miles on them it certainly won't hurt. At least we've got the cheap $20 ones :) Most of my friends have the $50 4 wire ones.
