O2 Sensors should be changed every 60,000 even if the CEL light is not on-just old school rule of thumb.

If the o2 sensors need replacing so often, why aren't they common maintenance items? My Lumina is still running good with the factory originals...

Put the car on jack stands
Disconnect the o2 sensor connector
Take the old sensor out
Reverse steps for installation of the new sensor
Easy

The hardest part will be getting the old sensor out with 97,000 miles.

o2 sensors are like any other sensor out there..some last a wek, others last forever...and agree on the regular changing, my peekup definitly likes new sensors, always shows up in the milage..also the fact that my header is close to the firewall and in extreme cases the sensor hits it and chomps the wire....

Now about 60 miles later the check engine light is back on, haven't had it checked this time. I've seen write ups about the fuel injectors but also read about o2 sensors. They said they coudn't find anything wrong but there is clearly a problem somewhere.
I will be sending you a private message shortly for more information.

Tricia, GM Customer Service.
