In response to my own post...
I see several O2 sensors out there. Should I worry about it when it breaks
or replace it now now with a good known brand? Which brand (and part #)
should I go with?
I don't really need to worry about the emissions one (I don't have emissions
testing where I am at here in Mid-Illinois).
