Any difference, GM dealer O2 sensors and Auto Zone O2 sensors are both AC Delcos right? Are the Dealer better quality since they are more expensive? Any feedback or bad experiences with Autozone O2 sensors.

The Auto Zone here only stocks Bosch O2 sensors and from what I have read lots of people dont like them. I would check around and find a place that sells the Delcos and they will be cheaper than at the dealer.

 

Thats weird my local autozone carrys AC Delco O2 sensors. I was wondering if there were the same as the ones you get at the dealer.

Iam sorry didnt read your post properly, if it says AC Delco its the same as the dealer.

 

you guys may be getting your stores confused, at least around my area in PA here, advanced auto sells only bosch o2's. they work fine. either one should be ok though. as for autozone i am unsure as to what they carry, but i would assume it would be the same across the US...

 

the dealer and autozone could be selling the same brand. If the maker of the o2's are ac delco, then thats the one I'd get. I never like buying from a dealer though, they're such rip off artists.

 

All Autozone's can get AC-Delco o2's, you just need to ask for them. I work at one, I should know Only a few stores stock them, but the other ones can usually get them in the next day, and yes, it is the one and the only AC-Delco factory parts.

 

AC-Delco = factory parts.

Same thing.

 

Cool, thanks guys for clearing this up. So I will buy my O2 sensors at autozone and safe some money.

 

Word of the wise - DONT get BOSCH

 

Since I work at Autozone, I can second that. I'd say roughly 1 in 4 Bosch 02 sensors purchased get returned within a week.

 

how much do they run at auto zone? i think at gmpd they are around 30

 

You can look parts and prices up at Autozone's website.

 

My local GM dealer sells the O2 sensors for 70 bucks a piece. Autozone sells them for 45. I'll save like 50 bucks.

 

Does the AutoZone delco sensor come in a delco box? Regardless, the sensor should have the AC # on it. How does it compare to the GM/dealer AC #?
