1998 V70 Base. Best Upstream o2 sensor

Kenner · Post by **Kenner** » 22 Mar 2015, 15:21

Looking for best choice or oem direct fit oxygen sensor for my base non turbo 98 v70. I am reading these bricks can be picky about their sensor brand. Is the Bosch 15097 the direct fit/ best choice in upstream O2?
When I call my local supply all auto shops they all seem to reference NTK but I want to make sure I get the best/correct one.
Input is appreciated.
Thanks

Bosch 0 258 005 097 (bosch 15097) is Oem front o2 sensor.I heard that they are the cheapest at amazon.

Even a Bosch universal can be trouble and any other brand is real trouble. Bosch OEM fit (with the factory connector) is the only way to go.

The universals are a hassle to put together. The time you spend doing that and hoping it's done right isn't worth the money you save by going that route.

Here is my Amazon order history from 2013. Best $80 ever spent. Cleared my code and improved my MPG. Easy install with the offset puller. Still working great on my 98 V70 NA.
