Did some research before I replaced my 02's. Read from multiple sources that AC Delco no longer makes 02 sensors for GM cars and if you buy AC Delco you'll receive Denso sensors in the Delco box. If true you may as well buy Denso and save money. I've had no issues with the Denso's but only have 2,000 miles on them.

If you go to any GM dealer and buy 02 sensors you will be handed an AC Delco box with Denso 02 sensors inside. Denso 02 sensors became the choice of GM to replace the AC Delco sensors.

Bosch owns the patent and licenses it to everybody else.

I've never had ANY trouble with ANY brand of those in ANY car I've ever changed them in, that was in ANY way attributable to the brand. (I cross-threaded one once... only trouble I've ever had with one AT ALL)

Thanks for the advice guys! I think I'll give the Bosch sensors a try. It's only money right? Haha

Lol. I keep my GM all GM. Figure if it's made to last to that 100k mile powertrain warranty, should be good enough for the next 100k

A friend of mine at work was having trouble with his o2 sensors and a check engine light. It was an Astro van with Bosch sensors.

I told him to pull that **** out and put Delco/Denso sensors in it and he thought I was crazy because they were brand new.

He did replace them with Denso sensors and nothing else changed and his check engine issue resolved itself.

Not all sensors are made the same nor do they work the same in all vehicles.

Do what you want but I won't ever put a Bosch sensor in any of my GM vehicles.

BTW, the difference in cost from Bosch to Denso was $10 per sensor.
