Oxygen Sensor Replacement

What Is an Oxygen Sensor?

An oxygen sensor (also known as an O2 sensor) monitors the amount of oxygen in your car’s exhaust gases and sends this information to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU uses this data to adjust the air-to-fuel ratio for optimal combustion. A properly functioning oxygen sensor ensures that your engine operates efficiently, reduces emissions, and prevents damage to other critical components.

Why Replacing Your Oxygen Sensor Is Important

Replacing a faulty oxygen sensor promptly is essential for maintaining your car’s performance and avoiding costly repairs down the road. A bad sensor can lead to poor fuel economy, higher emissions, and damage to critical engine components like the catalytic converter. By replacing the oxygen sensor, you can ensure your vehicle runs efficiently and minimize its environmental impact.

How Much Does Oxygen Sensor Replacement Cost?

The oxygen sensor replacement cost can vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model. Typically, replacement costs range between $150 and $500, including parts and labor. While this might seem like an additional expense, replacing a faulty oxygen sensor can save you money in the long run by improving fuel efficiency and preventing further damage.
