Extend The Life of Your O2 Sensor By 3X?

Post by kimokalihi »

Thoughts? Someone commented on the geo forum that you can splash water on it when its hot to knock the carbon off.

I guess my comment about that is....most sensors now are heated, and he even states that most heated sensors last about 90-100k miles, and that the heater elements wear out around 250-300k. So I don't really think it's a huge benefit to do for a heated O2 sensor.

I think my sensor gets hotter than that right after the turbo.
