What o2 sensors to use? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Scooter18155 · 04-08-2020, 04:28 PM

Ok part of my summer plans for my car is to put on some 1.7/8” or 2” long tube headers. I am getting a set of high flow cats this weekend to go with new headers. While I’m doing this my car just hit 100k miles so I figure it’s a perfect opportunity to do some preventative maintenance and replace the o2 sensors. I know I will need a tune for the cels that pop up. But with all this in mind is there a certain brand or type of o2 sensor I should use?

In the tune the rear o2 sensors will be turned off and thus no CEL. If you want to replace the fronts go with Ac Delco.

My car has 75k and when I did my headers I put in acdelco ones, paid $70 for both fronts I think from amazon. No reason to not use OEM ones

Cool ac Delcos it is then. Thanks. Wasn’t sure there wasn’t a better one out there. Just thought I’d get opinions or choices never really dealt with o2 sensors before.

Think of it this way - yours lasted 100k miles without a problem. Why not continue that stretch with the same parts.

True thanks for the info.

I have hi-flow cats, and spacers, and the rear bank 2 O2 sensor still throws a
P0430 code. I can't tune them out, I am in an emissions state, and they show up
as "Not ready." The state only allows for one Not Ready status. May be due to the
crap O2 sensors they SAY they replaced, but I don't think thay actually did anything
with the O2 sensors. That Dealz on Wheels place said they dumped $1700 into
the car and still could not get rid of the CAT codes. Well, that's because they have
no idea what they're doing, and they did not use OEM Cats. One of the cats,
rear cat bank 2, is damaged. They had the car for TEN weeks, and still didn't get
the stuff done. I got a crap hand written small yellow receipt from a pad with all
the parts they SAY they replaced. I asked for the WORK ORDERS from the garage
that did the work, they refused. There would be receipts with the parts they
claim they bought, I wanted those too, they refused.

I must say, I've never seen a copy/paste approach to a forum before this guy. It's an interesting approach. ��

InFiD3ViL · 04-09-2020, 12:24 AM

I have had great luck with the Denso sensors.

I'm running ACDelco still without any issues (cammed, full bolt on car). The best price I found was www.rockauto.com. They were less expensive for ACDelco than the knock off brand at the auto parts store.

Push comes to shove, you can get them from any GM dealer.

Also AutoZone and probably O'Reilly's as well.
