Scotty is such a genuis mechanic. He has solutions to all problems. I really wish I had a mechanic like him living nearby. There is an issue and he resolves it rapidly, with precautions and without any trap.
Thank you Sir Scotty! I'm a lady driver and owner and a long-time subscriber from Philippines. Some mechanics are suprised to know that I know a lot of things about the car. It's because I watch your videos, I'm not a mechanic but it helps a lot when I talk to my mechanics whenever I visited for a repair. Just like today, I know that my oxygen sensor is bad so I need to buy a new one and have my mechanic replace it for me, but before doing so, I have to re-watch this video because you know.... knowledge is power!
Thank you Scotty for taking the time to share the great information that you share. It is greatly appreciated!
Scotty you are a legend.... Thank you !!!! for all that good content
Scotty is so calm. If i were to do this I would be cursing that plug.

This fella is great. I wont lie, i watch his videos when i dont even have this problem with my car. He cracks me up. its all good imformation.
Be sure you apply anti-seize paste on the threads of the O2 sensor before you reinstall it, or you'll have a devil of a time getting it out without destroying the threads the next time.

And don't buy generic o2 sensors. Be sure to use the brand that is original equipment to your make and model. Cars can be very finnicky about this. There are many crappy generic sensors that are cheaper, but don't work well at all. Also, if you replace one sensor on a bank, it's a good idea to replace the second one as well, because a new sensor and an old sensor might not agree with each other very well. These things can be a pain in the butt, but if you spend a few extra dollars and get the right OE parts, your car will be much happier.
That’s awesome Scotty thanks for “Letting Me Know!).

Nice SC430. I like "all that plastic crap" underside my cars although it is tedious to remove and does not make for a quick inspection. My BMW is almost fully covered front to back. What it does that I like is it works to minimize corrosion from the salt and dirt,makes for smoother quieter airflow,better mileage and can help pinpoint drip sources.

Always use anti-seize on the threads of the sensor when changing these O2 sensors most reputable parts come with a little package of anti-seize anyway and it's just doing yourself a favor the next time you change one or shows a little mercy to the next mechanic if you decide to hire someone.

Scotty. I had simmilar problem, but rather DPF related. There is a pressure sensor right behind and after the DPF, which tends to fail about 150-200k km run. If it fails it makes car reduce power and it runs snail like. Me and my dad experienced that. Also VW/Audi with TDI engines will confirm.
Here in Canada I have no ever been able to remove a o2 sensors without having it glow red.
Just replaced my two 02 Senors on my 94' Celica with over 340,000 mile on it. It runs like a brand new car.

The connectors on exhaust sensors are a pain to unlatch, as they use Class 4 150C capable plastics and seals. Over time the silicone seals can bond in place from the heat and the plastic stiffens. The best method is to push them in the mating direction first, press the latch hard, and then unmate.

Florida used to do them and then they commissioned Florida State University to do a study and found that less than 1% of accidents in Florida were caused by faulty cars and believe it or not, they stopped doing them because they felt they were wasting resources and the inspections were a waste of time. Imagine that! Understand that states that do vehicle inspections perform them to steal money from their residents, that is the only reason for them $$$$$$.
