1.) get a Bosch. PN# 11027
2.) Go to Advanced autoparts, They are like 17 bucks.
3.) I would say about every 50k, also depends on yor driving habbits.

link to advanced autoparts O2 we use. http://www.partsamerica.com/PartDeta...pe=291&PTSet=C

you just need to splice in the old wiring harness to the new o2.. VERY easy, took me less then 30 mins from start to finish

It basically is the factory sensor - just in a slightly different shape and without the custom factory connector. At 1/10th the price of a factor O2, it's virtually risk-free. It's exactly what's in my car.

The factory one will cost you $180. There is no difference in the sensor and the ecu is reading the same signal. You will have no problems running the Bosch...unless you hook it up wrong.

im assuming you cut and solder the single wire to the connector on the end of the old one... i cant imagine what problem you could possibly run into

No solder - just crimp. It's easy.

You could also just buy a Walker sensor for under $50 from www.oxygensensor.com that comes with the OEM harness.
