How to find oxygen sensor part number?
Finding the correct oxygen sensor part number for your vehicle is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and emissions control. As an experienced auto service provider, I understand the importance of using the right parts for repairs. In this article, I will guide you through the steps to accurately identify the oxygen sensor part number for your car.
Understanding Oxygen Sensors
Oxygen sensors play a vital role in your vehicle's engine management system. They monitor the level of oxygen in the exhaust gases and send this information to the engine control unit (ECU). This data helps the ECU adjust the air-fuel mixture for optimal combustion, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
Steps to Find Your Oxygen Sensor Part Number
Here are the steps you can follow to locate the oxygen sensor part number for your vehicle:
- Check the Owner's Manual: Your vehicle's owner's manual often contains information about the oxygen sensors, including part numbers and specifications.
- Look Under the Hood: Many vehicles have a sticker or label under the hood that lists important part numbers, including those for the oxygen sensors.
- Use Online Resources: Websites like OEM parts suppliers or auto parts retailers allow you to search for your vehicle's make, model, and year to find the correct part number.
- Consult a Mechanic: If you're unsure, visiting a trusted mechanic or auto service center can provide you with the correct part number and advice on replacement.
- VIN Lookup: Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be used to find specific parts for your vehicle. Many online databases allow you to enter your VIN to retrieve detailed information about your car's components.
Conclusion
Finding the correct oxygen sensor part number is essential for maintaining your vehicle's performance and emissions standards. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that you purchase the right part for your car.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are O2 sensors universal size?
One Oxygen Sensor does not fit all! Every vehicle is unique with its engine design, capacity, coding and manufacturing period, and therefore requires specific oxygen sensors.
What size is my O2 sensor?
7/8ths is the Imperial equivalent of decimal 22mm. O2 sensors are all pretty much standard in size.
How do I know which oxygen sensor I need?
Check your vehicle's manual: Your vehicle's manual should have information on the type of oxygen sensor you need. Use an OBD2 code reader: An OBD2 code reader can help you determine which oxygen sensor is faulty by reading the error code.
How can I tell which 02 sensor is bad?
Your 02 sensors are what control the air/fuel ratio, by monitoring the exhaust gases in the exhaust down pipe. You need an OBDII reader to tell you which sensor is bad. You may have 2 or 4 sensors, depending upon whether you have a 4 cylinder, V6 or V8.

| KE-50LF | Galvanic cell type | 0-30% |
| KE-25F3LFM | Galvanic cell type | 0-100% |
How are O2 sensors numbered?
What is Sensor 1 & 2? The sensor number is telling us where on the exhaust system the O2 sensor or Exhaust temperature sensor is mounted. The 1st sensor is located closest to the engine and the last is located at the rear of the exhaust system.
How do I find my O2 sensor?
Oxygen sensors are typically located in the exhaust system. In most modern vehicles, you can find two sensors near the motor and two sensors near your catalytic converter. An oxygen sensor resembles a spark plug.
How do I know what version of oxygen I have?
Hi there, you can go to settings options in your phone, scroll down to find about phone option, click on it page will open and you will the OxygenOS version under Build number and Android version for Android number.
Is there a difference between bank 1 and bank 2 O2 sensors?
The upstream sensors are located on the exhaust manifold (nearest to the engine) and the down stream oxygen sensors are located after the catalytic converters (farther away from the engine). Bank 1 is the driver side and bank 2 is the passenger side.
Can I replace my O2 sensor myself?
Q5: Can I replace the oxygen sensor myself? A: While technically possible, replacing an oxygen sensor requires specialized tools and expertise.
