After doing a search I found that most people use bosch part #13115 for the uppers and part #13133 for the lowers. But the parts store had bosch part #13741 listed for the uppers. I also searched at www.boschusa.com and found that they also have part #13741 listed for the upper o2. Has anyone else encountered this? I wonder if they replaced the 13115's with an updated part. Would like to here suggestions and opinions please. THANKS. Last edited by 99tour; 03/21/06 01:27 AM.

I usually avoid Bosch because of their arrogance when I worked in a Volvo dealership. Bosch had an attitude of "we never have built a bad part, you must be mistaken". I bought my oxygen sensors here, from the CEG FAQ section: http://www.oxygensensors.com/ Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited

Anyone else have any comments on this post? The Motorcrafts were the same price as the Bosch around here.
