Hey Folks, so I replaced my stock O2 sensor at around 23,350mi with a Bosch 12014. I have around 27,650mi on it now, and I’m getting the CEL on and off at highway speeds. It’s throwing a code 13, O2 sensor.
Of course, after I installed the Bosch, I read some bad things here about it.
So is the stock sensor worth the extra $? I’ve read here about the NGK and GM sensors, but wondering how long they last.
Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'd have to look at my service log for mileage figures but NGK seems to be around 30-40,000 miles if I remember correctly.
I'll use the NGK again if that helps.

Before you pull the trigger, make sure the insulation hasn't rubbed through on that wire.

Thanks for the responses. I have to look into it, but I think I was careful when I replaced the last one, and made sure nothing was abrading the wires. Things could of changed though, I will check.
30-40k sounds good to me, I’ll go with the NGK.
Thanks guys.
