Should O2 Sensor Be Changed Just for Age....
My 2001 Civic EX runs good, and hwy MPG is around 37-40 depending on weather conditions and A/C use. Mileage is 382,000. Exhaust system is original, as are O2 sensors. Since 90 % of my driving has been at 60-70mph for the life of the car, I attribute that to the longevity of the O2 sensors and many other parts on the car. I'm an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kinda guy for items not specified as periodic replacement. But , in the absence of a CE light or other trouble indicator, should the O2 sensors be changed just as a PM item at some point ?

Can someone confirm ?

don't buy from amazon go to a local parts store these sensors are extremely sensitive and can easily be damaged if not handled correctly. then what if its defective you have to deal with customer service then ship it back then wait for the new part when you could just drive back to the store.
