I think with things like O2 sensors your best to stick with OEM manufacturers like Bosch/Delphi. Can be found on ebay reasonably priced.
Plenty of threads on the commodore forums over the years of cheapy ebay O2 sensors failing fairly quickly

well ive had bosch and theve lasted a bit however i wanted to try another brand and for the price it aint much, ii mean when i brought my bosch ones from ebay they were about the same price for 2 as it is for those ones but now bosch ones are nearly 100 for 2
at least these ones have a name not like the other universal ones on ebay lol
ill see what funds allow me to do they come with a 12 month warrany anyway lol
your supposed to change your 02 sensors every 100,000 km,they only last longer if you don't drive the car much.
Pete, you can have my left testicle if these O2 sensors are manufactured in Australia....hell, I'm so sure of this you can have the right one as well.
Back in the 50's, 60's and maybe the 70's you could buy cheap stuff that said "British Made"....but it weren't made in Pommyland, it was made in Hong Kong which was under British rule.

My engine light has been coming on the last ten days or so, I got code 13. Something to do with the oxygen sensors. I have been chewing through the petrol like blazes, getting around 75km less from a tank full.
I bought these Bosch oxygen sensors from this eBay seller. 2 x HOLDEN OXYGEN SENSORS BOSCH - COMMODORE VS VT VX VY FRONTERA RODEO STATESMAN | eBay
$100 delivered, $12 more than the ones the OP asked about, so I thought they were better value, a name brand, and made in the USA.
Check out the difference in colour between the two I replaced. The white one is from the passenger side.
I’ve been for a drive, and the engine light did not come on, and the fuel gauge wasn’t dropping down before my eyes like it has been. Fingers crossed it is all good now.
Hope this helps someone.

I have bought one for the VS also as per the OP, will fit it next week and give some updates.
FWIW I used a Bosch temp sensor from ebay and it lasted 3 months, fitted a triden from my parts shop and all good.
I found genuine ones were a similar price to quality aftermarket ones, so I bought genuine.
IMHO NGK make the best O2 sensors.
I find their spark plugs better than Bosch too.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
^^^ +1 on the plugs... But when i had to redo mine i bought genuine... 12months on and still good![]()
been running a chinese made $15 2wire o2 sensor in my vn for 12+ months, still working fine, fuel consumption is good and doesn't vary, no complaints for the cheap ones from me. (Think it was $19 usd for a 4 wire heated o2)
Bought a bosch from repco last year. Was a pos and i swapped to a second hand sensor from my wreck in the back yard, works better than it ever did with the bosch pos. Go genuine or just burn ur money IMO
The search function: try it people it actually works. heres proof

burn money? it's australia, if what you buy new doesn't work as described/for it's purpose you have the legal right to get a refund/replacement, if you get a dodgy one for retail prices take it back and keep returning it till you get one that wasn't a dodgy batch.............
Looks like your safe.

Bosch/Dephi from what ive tested out of the major brands has the best crosscounts out of all the brands, anyone else saying otherwise isn't doing any testing. I havn't tested one of these, there's so many no name jobies out there. When it's controlling your closed loop fueling why bugger around with cheapies unless you can verify it's working correctly.
