Default O2 sensors

as far as i know, bought her with 60,000 miles, i have the original O2 sensors... running fine, but could it be running better with new sensors? i am assuming that the cel will let me know when it is time, but should i get ahead of the inevitable, thanks for the input... cheers

Default And, if you do it, only do the fronts unless you have no choice

Fronts are directly coupled to fuel system and performance. Only function of the rears (behind the converters) is to assess whether the converters are functional or not.

Default

I'm running the originals in our 30v 2.8 cars. No issues yet in either car.
