I don't think it's too bad for city driving.

Ok so, I changed both oxy sensors today.

Old oxy sensor

New oxy sensor:

And I also serviced my car today

Flushed the old oil out using:

Filled her up with a fully synthetic nulon 10w-40 oil.
She was so thirsty so ended up drinking exactly 6.5L of oil.

Then added some magic to finish off with some extra protection.

Now I haven't had the chance to go for a long drive to see how my fuel consumption has improved yet.
So hopefully by tmrw I can update you's on the results of changing my oxygen/O2 sensors in relation to consumption.

Thanks.
Dave.

Did you use a o2 socket to remove them or what?

Did you have to remove the cat's to access?

Firstly i sprayed heaps of CR7/ WD-40 then left it for about half an hour.

Nope I used a normal spanner and adjustable spanner.

Na no need to remove anything.
All I had to do was raise the car fairly high on jack stands to make it easier for me to undo the sensors while in an awkward position under the car.

Took me just under an hour cause I like to take my sweet time. Lol.

Nice to know it can be done that way. Their in an awkward spot.

It's actually not too hard once uv got the car sitting up high on the jack stands it's just like undoing Bolts with a spanner.
