A new oxygen sensor can improve your vehicle’s mileage and performance by ensuring the most efficient mixture of air and fuel. Oxygen sensors are small and expensive, which make them the perfect item to purchase online, because you can compare prices and realize significant savings. Installation usually only takes about 30 minutes, but if you don’t have the tools or you are unsure of your abilities, contact your local repair shop. More and more repair shops are willing to install parts that the customer has already purchased, which can save a great deal of money in vehicle repair and service each year. Be sure to check with your repair shop before purchasing. Of course, if you would like to try the installation on your own, instructions on how to replace this part are available online. (Always check your vehicle service manual first.)
