TRQ oxygen sensors are manufactured to precise specifications using premium raw materials to optimize your vehicle’s emission system. Each sensor is isostatically-pressed for improved strength and durability, and plasma-sprayed to improve sensitivity and prolong the service life of the sensors. Oxygen sensors wear out over time and should be replaced every 60,000 miles to prevent poor engine performance. TRQ recommends replacing the oxygen sensors in sets to optimize fuel economy and reduce overall emissions. All products are fit and road-tested in our Massachusetts R&D facility to ensure we deliver on our promise of Trusted Reliable Quality.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the downstream oxygen sensor, or the oxygen sensor that is after the catalytic converter. You'll need a jack and jack stands to raise your car and support it securely, and then you'll need a 7/8 inch tubing wrench, and then another wrench to hook on to it for some extra leverage.
Locate the downstream oxygen sensor and the connector right above it, and go ahead and press the tab and pull it free. I'm using a 7/8 inch tubing wrench, sliding it over the harness. I'm going to use an extra wrench.
I've got the new part from 1A Auto with the anti-seize that comes with it, and I'm going to spread the anti-seize just on the threads, careful not to get it on the end. Go ahead and thread the new O2 sensor in, and tighten it up. Plug your sensor back in.

1. Identifying your Oxygen Sensors
Upstream oxygen sensors are located in between the engine and the catalytic converter
Downstream oxygen sensors are located in the catalytic converter or farther away from the engine than the catalytic converter

The bank that contains cylinder one is bank one
The bank that does not contain cylinder one is bank two, even if it does not contain cylinder two

In this video I have a couple of oxygen sensors with me. While there are some aesthetic differences here, the wire lengths are a little different, the actual body and tip of the sensor are a little different, the threads and gasket are the same, and on the other end the connections are actually the same. I can plug these into either position on our vehicle. But if I had to ask you which one's upstream and which one's downstream, you probably can't tell just from looking at them. That's true of most oxygen sensors. The way you determine whether or not an O2 sensor is upstream or downstream is all done visually.
Your oxygen sensor position can be determined relative to your catalytic convertor. As the name suggests, upstream sensors will be located upstream or ahead of, in front of, above, closer to the engine than your catalytic convertors. This means that they see the exhaust gasses first. They then go through the catalytic convertor and to the downstream oxygen sensor, which will either be located in the catalytic convertor like our vehicle here, or after the catalytic convertor to monitor the gasses coming out of the cat and make sure that it's being efficient relative to the readings of the upstream O2 sensor.
The other determination you need to make is bank one versus bank two. Determining which bank is which can be done by looking at a picture of your vehicle's firing order. Whichever bank contains cylinder one is going to be bank one, and the other one, regardless of whether or not cylinder two is in it, is going to be bank two by default. These banks are true of V engines like V8s, V6s, and flat engines like Porsches and Subarus that have individual banks.
On inline four-cylinder engines, as long as they have one exhaust manifold like a Jeep four-liter or a four-cylinder Honda engine, you'll only have one bank with an upstream and downstream O2 sensor. There will be no bank two on the engine.
On our vehicle here, this is the passenger side, which we've already determined from the firing order is bank one. We have our upstream sensor here closest to the engine ahead of the cat. Then we have our downstream or sensor two here inside of the catalytic convertor. This could also be located somewhere after the cat. Here I have my two sensors for the vehicle. While they are aesthetically different, we can now tell this is my upstream sensor because it looks just like the upstream sensor I have up there. This is my downstream sensor. Now that we know which one's which, we can order the right part, correct the problem, and fix you up right.

I will not buy parts from anyone else but 1AAUTO...I end up ordering a wrong part and they were on top of it and didn't give me the run around as you would think ordering online.
But really were kind and problem solved my issue right away.
I can't appreciate it enough.
Plus, you will get the best price...I sure did and I looked everywhere before ordering with 1AAUTO.
Thank you.
