Bosch Oxygen Sensor

Can I get away with the Bosch one? I can get it cheaper than the NGK.

Thanks.

I haven't heard of issues with bosch O2 sensors in these cars. I don't see it being a problem. The only problem I've heard with bosch products is the spark plugs.

I've been using bosch O2 sensor and plug wires for several months now with no noticeable problems. like sarin said, the only thing I've heard people complain about is their plugs - and that's a LOT of people too!

actually, I was gonna ask the org what plug wires work best.... but I kinda needed them in a hurry...

I think im one of the few that had a problem with the bosch o2 sensor. The car felt better with the NGK thats just my opinion.

I have the bosch plug wires and NGK platinum plugs. I was impressed when I took off after installing the NGK platinums because they are the best I've used so far. but my opinion doesn't matter anyway, cos I drive a 4-cyl sentra and everyone else has a 6-cyl maxima....

I wonder who has my maxima and where it is now, and if it's being taken care of.....
