O2 sensors are like every other piece of electronics in the world, there
is simply no way to guarantee quality and performance without testing.
Electronics go poof and release the magic pixie dust that makes them
work at random, not at predictable times. A belt can be rated for 60k
miles, and manage to last 90k, but that's a fluke. Electronics are much
more random, there is no practical service life for them, they simply
work until they don't. One headlight may last 150k miles without
burning out, but the next one off the line might only last 5 minutes.
Bosch O2 sensors have a bad rap because the O2 sensor is cheaper and
easier than a Cat, so it gets done first, and if it doesent work, it has
to be a bad, new sensor, of course...
