Firestone charged me like 370 to do this (4 years ago) and i had seen a video similar to this AFTER. Ever since then i have been able to do all my repairs on my vehicle thanks to youtubers like you! U guys are the real heroes out here, an o2 sensor for my car brand new is only 40 bucks. I could have saved 330 dollars had i been smarter at that age.
Okay for whoever reads my comment, this is important when replacing an O2 sensor. You HAVE to make sure the wires are as straight as possible and not twisted like this guy left them, the 02 sensor will probably still be "bad" if they are. And after hand tightening it then turn it a couple times with a socket to make sure it's tight but don't over tighten and make sure not to bend the 02 sensor or dent it or anything because they are very delicate and won't work properly if you do.
Also if you have enough room under the car by the sensor that you can fit a wrench, it's 7/8 is the universal 02 sensor size. But in a lot of cases the specialty tools are needed.
Good video! You are so right about the hardest part of this job being getting the sensor out...In 2011 on a 2000 Toyota Tundra I needed to replace the exhaust manifold on the passenger side because neither myself nor a couple different muffler shops could get the o2 sensor out! It was a real pain! I'm doing the other side in the tomorrow.
Best Tutorial Video Intro Award! - This is the best, most concise and accurate tutorial video INTRO I have EVER seen on youtube. And in 2012 - you were so far ahead of the curve. Damn!
If I keep having problems with my car, eventually I'm going to be a master mechanic. Thank you Chevy for the opportunity to get to constantly fix shit and thank you TH-cam for allowing random people to show me how to fix it.
Gut und tight -- lol -- I like that. Thanks Ben. Wow, the auto parts store -- O'Reilly -- looked it up on their computer and told me that it was 60 lb-ft. which sounded kind of high to me. It's a '96 Ford Crown Victoria.
TY. The vidoe was 100% spot on. The disconnect was the hardest part because we are blind to the upper part of te the trans. Thank you so much for making this youtube vid. I t eased my frustration a little. lol ^-^
Great video, al i would add is the prep for disconnecting the sensors; like disconnecting the negative terminal on your battery before you start ( and writing down your radio stations if you dont have them memorized lol. And what you do after it is all done to test your work out.
Straightforward instruction with good production. Well done. Only thing I would change is I would mention what model car it is you are working on, because I liek cars. I'll check out the other vids in this series for sure.
Good advice i changed 2- on a 95 Cadillac Concours/Northstar Engine,I have researched that Buicks and Olsmobile also have these engine's and man the ones by the firewall are crazy,,I had to use 2- 10 inch extender adapters with a woble drive end and a 7/8 crowsfoot,wow! never thouhjt a car could have so many specialty tools to fix it ,so much for that thanks again for your tips and advice.
Thanks for the video it’s really helping me , don’t know anything about Mechanics but I want get into it because recently bought my Second car and i don’t want mess anything up with the car (1991 Pontiac firebird formula) so I’ve been doing my research :)
Thanks. I bought the second socket to change the front one. But didn't know there was a second one. Thanks. I have correct tools so it's time to git'er done
You'll be ok. You probably won't answer just like everyone else. So I get what I get. You get what you get. I'll make it alone. When I called nobody I mean nobody answered call text mail email. It is what it is. I wish nothing but love towards you guys. I'll be where you left me. Live lol can barely survive think I haven't been in this position.
thank you, for your supporting. actually it work for me, I have kia Sedona 2005. the check light engine is one. and I just do it myself. and now it perfect, everything is good.
Thanks for your contribution Ben. I would only add this: Since the "O2 Sensor is one of the most misdiagnosed problems in a car;" and "there are lots of (other) parts that can go bad and cause..." the scan tool to throw an "O2 Sensor" problem Code, it sure would have helped the average "Do It Yourselfer" to know what those other problems could be. That way the DIY-fer watching your video can first test for those other problems to try and eliminate them, before going out and buying an O2 sensor which can be very expensive if you want to stick to OEM parts. For example: My gangster VW Dealership in Bethesda, Maryland, gave me a written price quote of $268.95 just for the O2 Sensor for my 2008 VW Jetta! Their "Labor" cost for the installation will probably be about another $300. Highway robbery! Some of the possible problems should include: a Vacuum hose check. An old, brittle, porous or cracked Vacuum hose (line) will cause extra O2 to be pulled into the exhaust manifold, thereby causing the Sensor to throw out a correct reading of "O2 Sensor problem." But, the problem in this example IS NOT the sensor! The problem is the high oxygen to Fuel ratio. The sensor is just doing it's job telling you there's too much O2 coming into the system causing it to run "lean." But, unfortunately reported as "O2 Sensor problem," when in fact the actual problem IS the Vacuum hose/line which needs to be changed. Other problems which will cause an "O2 Sensor problem reading include a defective heater wire (Check the resistance on the heater wire with an Ohm Tester (a.k.a. Digital Volto-meter). A low resistance reading on the heater wire means it's defective). Also, a loose or missing gas cap can also allow extra oxygen into the gas tank which will mix with the gas and will throw off the sensor which is also pulling in oxygen from the ambient air at the neck of the sensor. That ambient air intake, combined with the extra oxygen already mixed in with the gas, will cause a much higher O2 reading by the sensor and will trigger the check engine light. Upon scanning, a good scan tool will throw an O2 sensor problem code. But, the true problem is the loose or missing gas cap.
I have a downstream o2 sensor code..says the heater to the 02 sensor isn't working..I looked under the car at the sensor and the wires looked exposed..question is would replacing the 02 sensor resolve the problem? Checked the fuse..its good
Why would an O2 Sensor be installed in the exhaust pipe ? Isn't all the oxygen consumed in the engine ? Very clear and understandable video. Thanks, Gary
CC is so easy to turn on during the production of these videos. We the hearing impaired cannot enough these that are not CCed. Maybe in the future you will be so kind as to turn it on thank you
An O2 sensor is also most reasons why "Your favorite mechanic" would have you replace an innocent Catalyst, then have you buy O2 Sensors (Up and Downstream). Why, well according to him, if a Catalyst is bad most likely an O2 Sensor is bad too, even though the Catalyst was never the problem; the O2 sensor/s were. So you're down, 3, 4, 5 hundred dollars with a smile. OBD2 Code P0420 is where the money is. Catalysts don't die easily but lots of crooks would have you believe it so, most of the time a downstream O2 sensor behind the Catalyst is what creates this OBD2 code, along with bad gas, bad air filter, leaking gases, and many other things. So be aware, always have a second opinion. Thanks for the video.
***** I believe most mechanics are crooks, that's how they'd make money, the same reason I became a devoted DIY. Online you can find a Bluetooth based OBD2 reader for less than $50, which you can use with a phone app called Torque, search the fault code online, watch it replaced on TH-cam and find how relatively easy most of the things are all the while feeling good about yourself. Hehe
lastuberman Yes absolutely. Some cats cost you over a K, specially in California, and common sense is gonna dictate to replace sensors (Specially upstream) after cat has been replaced, so replacing sensors first and see if you get lucky is a wise move for DIYs.
Thanks Ben! That was super helpful. Mine is just hanging off. Because of all the potholes in my county, the underside of my car is taking a beating. Like you said, O2 sensors live in a horrible environment. I wonder if I can just clip it back on so it's not hanging? Anyway, thanks again.
Liked the video. Thanks. I didn't understand what you meant by soaking sensor in penetrating oil and how it's done. Can you explain a bit more please? Thank you.
I have an 02 sensor problem but I was told to check it's fuse first. Also using a multi meter to see if it's getting power BEFORE you start on the sensor.
I believe 99% of auto repair shops will rip you off. One time I checked a few shops and they wanted a couple hundred dollars to replace an O2 sensor. I did it myself in just a few minutes. After driving around for a while the check engine light reset. This is how much a repair estimate is for my 2010 4runner: $493.63 or repair pal estimate: $372 to $673 with parts included. For labor only: $127 per hour X 2.2 hours. What? two hours to unbolt one sensor and bolt on a new one? RIPOFF!!
I got all 4 replaced for $160.00 labor. I bought the sensors myself. I was also quoted 2.2 hours for the 2 bank 2 sensors. 1.9 hours for one and .3 for the other. 1 shop quoted me almost 200.00 labor for just the 2 sensors. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7. Me and my brother both got under the Jeep, no way to reach the 1 for sure. They must have to drop the exhaust and such for the 1 to be quoted as a 2 hour job. The owner of the shop even sarcastically said his mechanic had a fun time replacing all of them. 2 were 55.00, 2 were 30.00. Autozone has a deal right now on Bosch. I got a 20.00 gift card on each 1. So for about 260.00 I got all 4 replaced, pretty good deal. I figured I'd just do all 4 since I already needed 2. I'd recommend that to everyone. If 2 go the other 2 will probably be on their way out also.
I'm lucky, I just found a great shop by me. Family owned and you can trust them. Fair priced and they do the job in a timely manner. My buddy who owns a collision shop recommended the shop to me. They just did all 4 O2 sensors cheaper than I was quoted for only doing 2 sensors at another shop. It's awesome to have a auto shop you can trust, is fair priced, and has great mechanics.
@NPC Same shit happening here. Trying to keep alive A jag x type which is very common Ford engine but guess what? They refuse to fix the car or ruin it. Some other friends told me they can not even repair VW Golf cars here so people drive 250 km away. Here is 300k + population but mechanics did not educate themselves for more complex work. Only car they can fix here is from 1980's Fiat and renault tx 12 cars :) That is their knowledge base still. :) So i also think to invest on repair tools - maybe will cost less for long term.
Very informative. Would love to know how you worked out it was the O2 Sensor. We have a 2006 Ford CVPI and would love to see how you would change all four of them.
hey, thanks. very short and informative videos are always appreciated. i bought an 02 f150 xlt with 160k miles. im replacing the boots and plugs and also the fuel filter tomorrow. should i also just replace the O2 sensor while im at it ?
Sup man grate video and wanted to know what would happened if I take out the catalytic converter and replace it with a extended pipe with the rear 02 senior plugged in and with the muffler on as well
Hello, Thank you for this great tutorial. Q> May you recommend a good anti-seize compound that I can buy locally in store in case my new O2 sensor has no anti-seize compound on it? Thank you
All in all you made it look so easy. I changed the same one with NO issues as well as the 2nd one on the down stream side. Why don't you show how to change the up & down stream o2 sensors on the right side (passenger side) that would be useful information.
A very important step omitted in this otherwise excellent video: start & run the vehicle for several minutes to heat the sensor and the threaded fitting containing it. this will also help avoid galling on removal. be sure to wipe away any excess penetrating oil from the area before starting engine. Also bear in mind that the sensor/manifold/pipe will be extremely hot, so use caution.
If you have disconnected the negative terminal on the battery when replacing the sensor, it will stay off for a day or two until the vehicle's computer gathers enough data to report back. After that, if it stays off, you're all set.
Looks simple enough, but like you said you did a lot of work to find out it WAS the O2 sensor. My 2013 Explorer using the obd says two codes P013C and P013Cpd so it could be a number of things. Would like to know how you determined that it WAS the 02 sensor.
yes it can, i own a mazda tribute and have changed 2 of my 4 sensor and with no jack at all. However i'm not sure about the last 2 sensors, i just may need a jack for those 2?
So I watched your video and enjoyed it. I bought a generic sensor for a 2007 Chevy Impala upstream sensor and it doesn't come with a wiring diagram. Any Chance you could help me identify which wires connect to which? Any help is appreciated.
+Robert Walker on some car there is 2. upstream and downstream, I have a Lincoln LS 2000 and it has 2. after watching this im going to change them both just to be on safe side
replacing an o2 requires basic knowledge as far as proper removal. if an o2 is commonly misdiagnosed, then a video showing what you guys did to determine a faulty o2 would make more sense
Pedro Cisneros he has used an obd-II scan tool and it had shown the problems to be diagnosed, there is a video in his playlist I lf you want I'll give the link
I was told by one garage that I needed to replace both O2 sensors when my check engine lite appeared. It was not the O2 sensor. It was the air flow sensor to the air filter. Glad I went to a garage that had a qualified technician to go thru the codes and pin point the real problem. The air flow sensor cost more than the O2 sensors, but I could have easily been stuck having both if I had not found the right garage and tech.
@@randallkennedy7414 , I think that's what I replaced awhile back. When that air flow sensor is bad it will also show a code saying an 0-2 sensor is bad sometimes. That's what I was told at least. So as you did, replace that first and see if that takes the code away saying an O2 sensor is bad.
Exactly why I learned to work on my own vehicles. You would not believe some of the diagnosis and cost of repairs I hear, being a female they think I'm mechanically inept and stupid. Even when I bought MAF cleaner I had to be instructed not to put it back together until its dry. Do car parts store people say that stuff to you guys? I'm waiting for my O2 sensors to arrive from Amazon today, I bought 2 upstream to replace both though my code only shows one not sending signal to PCM.
Can you show a easy way to change O2 sensors for infinity fx35, there are 4 different sensors and two camshaft sensors. Do you suggest to have a car fully maintained after over 200.000 miles to replace all of them at once? !?
Firestone charged me like 370 to do this (4 years ago) and i had seen a video similar to this AFTER. Ever since then i have been able to do all my repairs on my vehicle thanks to youtubers like you! U guys are the real heroes out here, an o2 sensor for my car brand new is only 40 bucks. I could have saved 330 dollars had i been smarter at that age.
Damn garages rip u off blind.
Good instruction and good lighting, God bless you my friend...
One of the best instruction video's I've seen. Very clear. Thanks, I now know what to expect with labour costs.

I've been looking at O2 sensor videos and yours is the most helpful by far! Thanks so much!
Best Tutorial Video Intro Award! - This is the best, most concise and accurate tutorial video INTRO I have EVER seen on youtube. And in 2012 - you were so far ahead of the curve. Damn!
thanks! this was the easiest one to understand, plus you explained the anti-seise & penetrating oil. MUCH appreciated!

Eric Cartman man I feel the same way with my H3 hummer. Lol
Worked great for my 2004 Ford Explorer. Thanks for the help!
You splain that,so clear.Im so happy with you way to show us to do this job.God bless you,my friend.Thanks so much.
Gut und tight -- lol -- I like that. Thanks Ben. Wow, the auto parts store -- O'Reilly -- looked it up on their computer and told me that it was 60 lb-ft. which sounded kind of high to me. It's a '96 Ford Crown Victoria.

This was an excellent video on how to replace an o2 sensor, thank you!!
Thanks man, that will save me a ton of cash. Very thankful for this thread.
great video it was worth the look and makes it ease for me. There's nothing like saving 200.00 dollars. Thanks
Thanks a lot, you would not believe what the mechanic put me through. OMG 📎⛓️⚙️🔩🗜️🔧
Bang up video! Thank you for taking the time and helping us out!
We agree. Good stuff Ben!
thank you, this video helped a lot. life saver and money saver.
Good concise, instructional video. Thanks. I'd like to know what the recommended installation torque values would be for most O2 sensors.
Good advice i changed 2- on a 95 Cadillac Concours/Northstar Engine,I have researched that Buicks and Olsmobile also have these engine's and man the ones by the firewall are crazy,,I had to use 2- 10 inch extender adapters with a woble drive end and a 7/8 crowsfoot,wow! never thouhjt a car could have so many specialty tools to fix it ,so much for that thanks again for your tips and advice.
Thanks for the video it’s really helping me , don’t know anything about Mechanics but I want get into it because recently bought my Second car and i don’t want mess anything up with the car (1991 Pontiac firebird formula) so I’ve been doing my research :)
Thanks. I bought the second socket to change the front one. But didn't know there was a second one. Thanks. I have correct tools so it's time to git'er done
Thanks! I owe you $200!! BTW a 7/8" open end wrench worked fine for me.
I used a thread chaser on my bunghole, and now it hurts really bad. Should I put some penetrating oil in there?
I'm not an expert on those but you probably should do that.
lool Beavis and Butt-Head. That's old school.
yeah, lube it up well..
You'll be ok. You probably won't answer just like everyone else. So I get what I get. You get what you get. I'll make it alone. When I called nobody I mean nobody answered call text mail email. It is what it is. I wish nothing but love towards you guys. I'll be where you left me. Live lol can barely survive think I haven't been in this position.

thank you. you made it look simple and not complicated. =)
You ate the man, thanks
Thanks! I appreciate your advice.
Clean and to the point!
Hi Boss I like this video
I would like to know the location of Bank1 and Bank2 O2 Sensor
for my Ford Taurus 2006.
waiting for your answer
thanks.
That was the easiest removal I've ever witnessed!!
Thx excellent video
Helpful. Thanxx!!!
Lovely video - anticipates problems such as non-OEM wiring. I am assuming that bank 2 O2 sensor is on the drivers side. Tkx
You did an excellent video. Thank you very much. But should all sensors be replaced when one goes out?
Why would an O2 Sensor be installed in the exhaust pipe ? Isn't all the oxygen consumed in the engine ? Very clear and understandable video. Thanks, Gary

I like that 350z poster in the back.
so a shop said $250 for them to replace i found a new one for under $50 this video is great
Good Video, Thanks.
Thanks 🙏
Nice job,thanks for a video
Great video. What is the cost for a 02 Honda oxygen sensor?
Thanks,
Suzanne
Tons. What used to a be dealer-only service, several shops and parts strores - read: reputable, will read the error for no charge.
you make this look easy,i have problem with stripped nut,any idea of how to tackle this?
I never knew Screech from saved by the bell was such a talented mechanic
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Very informative. Would love to know how you worked out it was the O2 Sensor. We have a 2006 Ford CVPI and would love to see how you would change all four of them.
Great video, just wish you would show how there is an upstream and downstream sensor and which goes where....
hey, thanks. very short and informative videos are always appreciated.
i bought an 02 f150 xlt with 160k miles. im replacing the boots and plugs and also the fuel filter tomorrow. should i also just replace the O2 sensor while im at it ?
muy bueno el video.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Thank you for the video, - Does the truck need to be serviced or re configured after replacing the sensor?
Sup man grate video and wanted to know what would happened if I take out the catalytic converter and replace it with a extended pipe with the rear 02 senior plugged in and with the muffler on as well
Nice Info
Hello,
Thank you for this great tutorial.
Q> May you recommend a good anti-seize compound that I can buy locally in store in case my new O2 sensor has no anti-seize compound on it?
Thank you
Thank you!
Thank you
Thanks man
Hi thanks for posting this video my question is in a dodge ram 03 1500 is the same process?
Thanks !
my where so easy and thank u for listen
I think I need this done. My DTS Cadillac doesn't seem to read the right gas level, unless I fill the tank and keep it over half full.
When should you change your 02 sensor usually?
All in all you made it look so easy. I changed the same one with NO issues as well as the 2nd one on the down stream side. Why don't you show how to change the up & down stream o2 sensors on the right side (passenger side) that would be useful information.
It really would
I'd be an angry American too. I know I am
A very important step omitted in this otherwise excellent video: start & run the vehicle for several minutes to heat the sensor and the threaded fitting containing it. this will also help avoid galling on removal. be sure to wipe away any excess penetrating oil from the area before starting engine. Also bear in mind that the sensor/manifold/pipe will be extremely hot, so use caution.
Is “catalyst emissions below threshold” a bad o2 sensor?
Make the speed .5 and start at 2:27 and just listen lol
Fyrestorm Gaming haha
Lol
Awesome!
Haha. My wife says I sound like that...
If you have disconnected the negative terminal on the battery when replacing the sensor, it will stay off for a day or two until the vehicle's computer gathers enough data to report back. After that, if it stays off, you're all set.
Good video 👍
Quick question if I need to replace 02 sensors downstream, is it a necessary to replace upstream too?
good job, but u can cut the wires before u begin and use a socket with a breaker bar.
Not if you want to reuse the factory plug...
Uh, what difference does it make if you're reusing the plug? You'll be cutting the wires sooner or later anyway if you do that.
Thanks Joe this was what I thought too
Looks easy. I know the mechanic will charge me a ton of money. Wish I had a way to get the car up The mechanics are high priced here in Va.
Looks simple enough, but like you said you did a lot of work to find out it WAS the O2 sensor. My 2013 Explorer using the obd says two codes P013C and P013Cpd so it could be a number of things. Would like to know how you determined that it WAS the 02 sensor.
yes it can, i own a mazda tribute and have changed 2 of my 4 sensor and with no jack at all. However i'm not sure about the last 2 sensors, i just may need a jack for those 2?
I have the Opposite problem it's very difficult to get the new one in and I have the same new part that you got. 😅
So I watched your video and enjoyed it. I bought a generic sensor for a 2007 Chevy Impala upstream sensor and it doesn't come with a wiring diagram. Any Chance you could help me identify which wires connect to which? Any help is appreciated.
great video. is there more than one O2 sensor
+Robert Walker on some car there is 2. upstream and downstream, I have a Lincoln LS 2000 and it has 2. after watching this im going to change them both just to be on safe side
Yes usually there are 4
replacing an o2 requires basic knowledge as far as proper removal. if an o2 is commonly misdiagnosed, then a video showing what you guys did to determine a faulty o2 would make more sense
Pedro Cisneros he has used an obd-II scan tool and it had shown the problems to be diagnosed, there is a video in his playlist I lf you want I'll give the link
I was told by one garage that I needed to replace both O2 sensors when my check engine lite appeared. It was not the O2 sensor. It was the air flow sensor to the air filter. Glad I went to a garage that had a qualified technician to go thru the codes and pin point the real problem. The air flow sensor cost more than the O2 sensors, but I could have easily been stuck having both if I had not found the right garage and tech.
@@randallkennedy7414 , I think that's what I replaced awhile back. When that air flow sensor is bad it will also show a code saying an 0-2 sensor is bad sometimes. That's what I was told at least. So as you did, replace that first and see if that takes the code away saying an O2 sensor is bad.
Exactly why I learned to work on my own vehicles. You would not believe some of the diagnosis and cost of repairs I hear, being a female they think I'm mechanically inept and stupid. Even when I bought MAF cleaner I had to be instructed not to put it back together until its dry. Do car parts store people say that stuff to you guys?
I'm waiting for my O2 sensors to arrive from Amazon today, I bought 2 upstream to replace both though my code only shows one not sending signal to PCM.
Really nice video,just one question thou, s dat a truck? Or a car ? D one ur workin on? Thanks 4 posting d video.
thanks
Extreme difficulty accessing the electrical connecter on top of the transmission, any tips?
Any one know?
How did you diagnose the O2 sensor versus the Catalytic converter failure?
Can you show a easy way to change O2 sensors for infinity fx35, there are 4 different sensors and two camshaft sensors. Do you suggest to have a car fully maintained after over 200.000 miles to replace all of them at once? !?
