Post When did you guys swap your O2's???

Being as how the other two in the fleet "fly", its time to try and get the Camaro its "mini" wings back.

It has just over 67K miles on it. The stock O2's are still in there. Just wondering when you guys swapped yours out.

It runs fine, but just wondering.

Last Night @ 122,??? Miles
I never bothered replacing them because I hate anything that pleases the emission freaks, plus we don't have emissions testing here yet, so no big hurry. I prefer pre-emission vehicles!

Although, I am super glad I replaced them, my car seems like it is brand new. I never knew that they would make that much difference. I have better throttle response, smoother idle, and it cruises at lower RPM's on the interstate. Just found all this out this morning so I am still super happy Since my V6 is my daily driver, I try to take care of it. PitySister-I think I saw a post on this a few days ago, but I didn't find it. It is super easy to do if you have a few tools. I would definately recommend you use an O2 sensor socket, it makes it much easier. I used that, a swivel (..universal..), a long extension, and ratchet. I think you can figure out what to do from there, but if not, e-mail me or something. This took me a whole ten minutes to do, and was, like I said, super easy. I paid something like $20 for mine as well at AutoZone...I used the Bosch ones, they have a warranty and stuff on them, so I guess they are fine.

Well us (the 3.4 guys) don't have a O2 after the cat (not OBD II).

Soooo I can't answer for the 3.8 guys on what they are doing.

....btw...Welcome to the site
