Engine has original O2 sensors with 103K mi. so it's not surprising they might need replacing. I'm just glad it's the one in front right now. Anyway....looking around, I see several different OE brands. Is there any one particular brand that is believed to be better than others? Prices look to be about $65-90 for single sensors depending on brand. ...and yes, the EGR passages are clean, MAF is new and the precats are non-gutted. Chris '95 SE MTX 103K mi. 95SE MTX 110Kmi.

I have Bosch O2 sensors on mine. Only replace the one that you need to. Replace them both since it's at 103K. The Bosch sensors are excellent parts and will work well.
