As our cars continue to rack up miles, especially mine at almost 100K LOL, the longevity of the factory wide-band O2 sensor will become more of a pertinent issue. Does anyone know what to expect here? I'm familiar with standard O2 sensors being switched out between 80-120K on a lot of cars but I'm suspecting our O2 sensors, at least the wideband, are a little sturdier and meant for a longer life than the usual factory O2 sensors?
The reason I have this question in the back of my mind is that I know how are engines are touchier to knock and AFR's than some, they don't seem to be that forgiving at all and since our O2 sensors are the primary source of that input to the ECU, I want to make sure I don't have an issue.
I think this will end up being valuable information to us all so those who know, please chime in!
