Palyndromic Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Hi- I've followed some of the other topics regarding oxygen sensors and I have a couple of questions in clarification. I recently replaced my 1996 ES300's 2 front/engine Fuel/air sensors (commonly referred to as oxygen sensors) with Bosch OE style sensors (Toyota tipped). I am going to replace the rear sensor with a Denso. (that is delayed due to the rear O2 sensor not wanting to come out) I have read that using universal or non OE Denso oxygen sensors can cause trouble in the computer. I am not against using a higher priced sensor, but I put the Bosch in prior to becoming better educated RE sensor maker Toyota's high maintenance electronic needs. I don't know if its worth it to return the Bosch or sell via ebay. My 2 questions are- "Will mixing Bosch and Denso sensors create problems in the computer?" "What trouble (if any) can I expect from having Bosch sensors? " Any thoughts? Thank you for your time...

I'm finally able to move on from these oxygen sensors. I had to torch the pipe to get the rear oxygen sensor to turn. Cheers.
