Part Details
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 the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace an upstream O2 sensor on this 2003 Nissan Altima with the 2.5L, 4-cylinder engine. The items you'll need from this are a new upstream O2 sensor from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, a 7/8 inch O2 socket from 1AAuto.com, and a ratchet. In our worst case scenario, we'll also need a pair of wire cutters and a pair of regular 7/8 socket. Because of the location of this O2 sensor, you can't actually use a 7/8 inch wrench, but you do need this special socket with the cut out that accommodates the wires on the O2 sensor. It's the only way to reinstall a new O2 sensor on this particular vehicle. We do sell it; we offer it in kits with the O2 sensor. To remove it, we do end up actually using this 7/8 socket and just cutting the wires, and we'll explain more of that later.
The upstream O2 sensor we're working on is located right here. Disconnect the O2 sensor harness. It's the green connection. You have to press a tab and pull it apart. Now you'll see that the harness is actually clipped on. You just want to unclip that and pull it down. Now here's that special socket, and you just slip it right over the O2 sensor. Now attach your ratchet. That socket is good because you don't have to worry about the wires because they come right out of that slot. The only problem with it is the big slot in it lets the socket expand so if the O2 sensor is in there really tight (like this one is) the socket kind of expands and kind of slips on to the O2 sensor.
What we'll need to do is basically just cut that wire with a set of wire cutters. Then we're going to use a solid 7/8 inch socket and slide it right over there. It has to be a deep socket. Put the ratchet on there and remove the O2 sensor. Just pull the O2 sensor up and out.
You can see the one on the top is the old one and it's in very rough shape. It's actually misshapen. The lower one is the new one from 1A Auto and it's an exact match.
You want to feed your new O2 sensor down into place, and just twist it in by hand to start. Now, you want to use that special O2 socket with cut out for the wires, and just tighten the O2 sensor into place. We'll fast-forward as Don does this. Now reconnect your harness and just clip that connector back up onto that bracket. Now you're all set.
