- My $0.02:
-
- Assume the oxygen senser can work for 60k under any situation. So, if I
- drive the car at 20mph for 60k, it should be working fine up to then. It
- seems reasonable to assume that the senser life should be measured in time in
- use. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the senser will be fine up to
- 150k if I drive the car at 50mph. If we can assume that low speed driving is
- more demanding on the senser...
-
- Anyway, since oxygen senser failure seldom leaves one on road, I would prefer
- to wait for a sign of unadequate performence before I replace it.
-
- Any buyers?
