I have no evidence that the Bosch O2 sensor is either superior or inferior to any other competing brand. Bosch products do have a reputation of being higher-end.This unit came with anti-seize compound on the threads. My only reco to others is to buy the pre-wired (with the connector) version and save time as opposed to saving $. The latter eliminates the possibility of a wiring error,future open circuit, and provides a much simpler r/r. Amazon gave me a good price on the product, lower than local.

My van is Sienna 2006. The error code was P0158 (bank 2 sensor 2 oxygen sensor). Location of the sensor is at the bottom of engine right under hood lock. The upstream sensor is on the upper front part of the engine, close to the hood lock. Bank 2 sensor 1 downstream sensor is just under the body of passenger seat with connector under the seat. To loose sensors, you need warm up engine for 3 to 5 minutes. When it is clod, it is impossible to remove it. When it is hot, it is very easy. Toyota sensor is type B in Bosch's document. The wiring mapping order is two blacks, one white, and one blue of Toyota sensor for two whites, one gray, and one black of Bosch respectively. Wiring may take a half hour or longer because you want to do it right at the first time. For 15 days and 1400 miles after the repair, no more check engine lights. The problem is fixed. Toyota sensor may be Denson OEM part and costs over $200. The labor costs $100+. It took me one hour and $50+ bucks.

I had to rate a 1 because it advertised that it was for up or downstream and it is not. It is only for downstream. I contacted Amazon and they were excellent in issuing a refund. Disappointed that it did not work for my car but as always I really enjoy shopping on Amazon.com. :0)

I have used two of these on a 2001 Rav4 and both have worked great. Installation is very easy (in regards to actually replacing the sensors anyway) and instructions are well done. The price is around half the price of something local and the first replacement has been going for over a year without a single issue. Very pleased.

I installed one of these in a friend's VW to avoid paying over twice as much for the OEM version of the exact same O2 sensor that comes with a car-specific wiring harness plug. Yes, it took a few minutes more to do the job with this generic sensor since I had to splice wires, but the directions were clear and the process was straightforward. Now the car has no more error codes. Amazon's price for this item was the best I could find anywhere. Highly recommended overall.

The sensor worked wonderfully and wasn't very hard to put together. I would say that is does require some understanding of what your doing though.
If you think you can handle the assembly, its 100% worth the money you save over buying an OEM sensor

I had the code scanned on my 2003 corolla by autozone. It said I had a bad catalytic converter. My mechanic said it could be the sensor behind the cat. A new catalytic converter was 979 dollars. My mechanic wanted 235 dollars to do the sensor so I took a chance and did it my self. My check engine light was on for 5 months till I changed the sensor. I disconnected the battery to reset the light. I have driven 1100 miles since then with no light. Changing the sensor was a piece of cake. The old sensor came out easily enough with a wrench. Installed the new one and connected the wires. Done in about 4o minutes. The sensor came with a chart to tell you what coor wire to connect to which. No problems.

Item fit my 2001 Volvo V70XC rear O2 sensor. Works well.
