    Great video. Just wanted to add a little trick I came up with. When replacing the front sensor, I tie a string to the sensor wire and dangle it down from above, through the engine compartment (be sure to leave enough slack, of course). This helps keep the wire from getting all twisted and flopping around. And when you're done tightening the sensor, the plug end of the wire is easily reachable from above, and you just plug it in. And as others have mentioned, RENT THE TOOL FOR THIS! You will be glad you did. Most parts stores lend them free.

    Nothing insane about the wrench. I had an S10 pickup i had to use a pipe wrench and a long cheater bar to get it out of the exhaust. Using only a wrench means you are not in the rust belt

    Appreciate you showing an O2 sensor socket and installing to torque spec. The sensor housing isn't as robust as people might imagine. My 09 legacy H6 sits parked in the garage until I get both left bank sensors. I thought it was good preventative maintenance doing the rubber outlet/inlet for the 5eat at 100k. I had to drop a new radiator and thought it would be smart doing all 6 ATF hoses. Unfortunately, I don't have much for tools and ATF fluid soaked both sensors. I found out how external contamination works. It ran about 5 minutes until the whole left bank was misfiring and the engine shaking like it was death. Another good reason to not neglect the inner CV boots when they start to tear. H6 is double the fun. The charge port for the transmission sits right next to the cat also. Just a reminder to don't be sloppy or try to get by with an improper tool.

Do I just enough turn to where it's snug? Like you turn with hand then the O2 tool couple of turns? What happens if the wires are twisted? How can I get the wires to hang enough to where there no problems. Sorry for all these questions.. have a great day thanks for the video. Hope to hear back from you soon..

    Thanks for making this video it is super helpful being able to see what you are doing and which sensors you are swapping out. I'm currently in the process of replacing the O2 sensors on my 2005 Legacy 2.5i. I started by ordering just the upstream sensor because that is the one throwing the error code, but after getting under the car it looks like my sensors are currently installed wrong by the previous owner?? The connector ends match the opposite of what you have in your video. I just ordered the downstream sensor now too, and will just swap them out at the same time and hopefully I plug them into the correct connectors.

    I have a 2012 Subaru Forester and I am pulling a P0171 error code, I have cleaned out the MAF once with CRC. Error code triggered again after 40 miles. I am told it could also be B1S1 Sensor, do youj think this would be a complicated replacement. Or should I further investigate the MAF solution. Car has 46k on it mileage and is in good repair, I seem to have experienced a loss in gas mileage, that immediately improved following the cleaning of the MAF. But the error codes returned as I said.

    P0171, system too lean bank 1. You have an air leak between the MAF and the combustion chamber. A common failure is the intake manifold gasket. With the engine running, you can carefully spray brake cleaner or carb cleaner around the base of the intake manifold where it meets the cylinder head. If you have a leak, the engine RPM will audibly change. You could also have a low fuel pressure issue, but isn't as likely.

    P0037, Heated oxygen sensor heater control circuit low (Bank 1 Sensor 2) This code is in reference to the rear sensor. You'll need to check the wiring harness and power out of the harness to the oxygen sensor heater. Usually a heater circuit is a burnt out heater inside the sensor, but sometimes it's an issue with the wiring or computer. If you just want to replace the sensor without testing anything, it is the post catalyst sensor.

    +Evan Hartenburg an O2 sensor socket is heavily recommend. Using a normal open end combo wrench can round off the O2 sensor making it nearly impossible to remove. It all depends on how stuck it is, which they're normally in there pretty good due to the heat cycles. At the least I'd recommend a flare nut wrench if you don't have an O2 sensor socket.

    85% of the time, a lean code is caused by a lean condition, not a bad oxygen sensor. Most likely you have unmetered air being drawn in between the MAF sensor and the cylinder head. So, loose intake ducting, bad throttle body gasket, bad intake manifold gasket, leaking fuel injector o-ring, etc. Or, you have an exhaust leak between the cylinder head and the oxygen sensor. Leaking exhaust manifold gasket, etc. I recommend using only the OE oxygen sensor. Aftermarket sensor tend to give incorrect readings. I believe Denso is the OE on the 2010.

    If you plan on doing the job, stay away from the oxygen sensor tools. Most sensors that i take out are always frozen. Using a crowfoot type socket/wrench will usually break the tool. i just did a 2006 Outback and used a 22mm deepwell socket with an 18" breaker bar. After I used all my strength, it gave and out it went. Doing it this way, you cut the wire to the sensor for socket accessablity. Also, dont bother using w-2 40 on it. It has a washer type shield that keeps your liquid from finding its target.

    Unfortunately I do not. We don't have inspections or emissions testing here in South Carolina so most people just ignore a bad cat. It's fairly simple and straightforward as long as the exhaust isn't rusty. It's a simple unbolt and replace. Four bolts and four nuts at the front and rear flange.

    Hey, I have a 2015 Subaru Forester with the 2.3l engine. I come to a complete stop, like a light or a sign or something, and then start to go. The engine feels like it just bogs down. The power drags, and the engine/car starts to rattle. Then it slowly picks back up. I don't get any problem when going highway speed. I use regular, though I have been going to plus lately. I ran a couple of gas cleaners thru (Chevron techron) to see if it was maybe fuel related (injectors or something). No dice. Any thoughts?
