Default Are 'universal' O2 sensors okay?? I'm a DIYer and can splice wires, what

is the knowledge base on the smartest approach on out two-seven-tees? I flooded my right bank O2s and my exhaust with probably 3-4 qts of oil after my turbo shaft fatigued. I've had O2 codes but have wanted to take some time to burn off the residual oil before replacing them...I think I'm ready now. I'm only seeing 5-6 psi boost on fresh OEs and assume it's because of bad O2s. Any input on this issue will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Default have you tried using a wire brush to clean out any debris that you just hit with

hot exhaust gas and caked up on the O2 sensors? Might be worth a shot.

Other than that, yes, you can do a universal splice, but results are usually more bad than good.
