O2 sensors?


Thinking of running upstream O2 sensors from Bosch.

Bosch makes them for Ford as original equipment. I was told years ago that Bosch sensors made for Ford are made to stricter standard than what they sell to Advance auto or other part stores. But that makes no economical sense for Bosch parts to make different types, one for ford and one for the public. Do you think I'm having the proverbial wool pulled over my eyes and just paying extra for Ford sensors that are from Bosch for no reason

Ah, I suppose it's like everything else. A few people have bad experiences and suddenly an entire group gets scared of the product

bosch over the counter o2's work fine. I have heard that bosch makes sensors for ford to ford specs so that could be true and not that uncommon for oem suppliers to make a lesser quality product for aftermarket part suppliers
