Yes, that’s correct.
What can I use for threads on O2 sensor?
Apply an anti-seize compound to the sensor’s threads before installing it (some oxygen sensors have the anti-seize compound applied at the factory).
Are O2 sensors universal thread?
The function of O2 sensors is universal, but I believe they come in a variety of thread sizes. As long as you’ve got the O2s lying around, I recommend crawling under your car and removing the front O2 sensor so you can compare the threads. Pulling off the front bank should take no more than five minutes.
What thread is Bosch O2 sensor?
The pitch of the thread is M18 x 1.5mm. Bosch LSU4. 2 works with Bosch LSU4. 4.
Are oxygen sensors all the same?
In spite of the fact that both O2 sensors are heated four-wire sensors, the Motronic is able to discern subtle differences. It’s imperative that you use the correct ones, whether they are oem with the correct length cable and plug, or the correct “universal” equivalent, which requires you to measure and splice your old plug onto it.
How tight should an O2 sensor be?
Depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations, tighten the O2 sensor to three-quarters of a turn past finger-tight using the sensor socket.
Can you use penetrating oil on O2 sensor?
Oxygen sensors can be harmed by silicon-based penetrating products that soak into the ceramic part. But I’ve found a lot of luck shooting the threads with my PB Blaster. Taking them off while the exhaust is still hot has worked for me in the past, but you have to be careful not to burn yourself.
