Anyone else wonder why....O2 sensors are so darn pricey???

It seems like just a simple sensor that read some fumes to make sure your engine is right.....Why does something that seems so simple cost so much.


I shall now step off my Soap Box.

It's because it's so damn important lol. If u don't like the plug n play price but a universal one its half the price and ull have to splice into the original plug. Not recommended btw

Cheapest i found online was around $65-70 for the upstream o2. I went to Autozone and they had one for $62.99 and i didnt have to wait for it.

Why do tires cost so much? They seem so simple... :smt028

But I do agree with you... however the O2 sensor takes an absolute BEATING environmentally. Can you imagine if your head was in a pipe with hot noxious gasses hitting you at over 100F, while your butt was hanging out in sub-zero temperatures, all while being beaten with rocks, debris and mud?

This sounds like a great porn site, I would join.
