help please
my mechanic says i need to replace the bank 1 sensor 1, and bank 2 sensor 1. unfortunately, the lexus dealer wants my retirement account for these parts. i want to order them from lexuspartsnow, but cannot find them on their menu of parts. any help appreciated. any thoughts on using aftermarket sensors, instead of the oem [denso?].

Dont waste your hard earned money on non oem sensors.
Depending on where you live, you are most likely putting $50 worth of gas for a tankful. Paying for the sensors is cheaper than the lost energy from the fuel .. although you dont notice that as it is silently lost.
Please be a bit descriptive in the choosing the title of the thread (I have yet to discover how to edit it).

i ordered both to have both replaced while it is in the shop. the cost of the part and labor for the second replacement is not great, and, as i live in the country, it is somewhat inconvenient to take it to, and leave it at, the shop. i hope the 2 sensors are the same, as i ordered 2 of the same, from amazon, and had them mailed direcly to the shop.

In fact you have 2 A/F ratio sensors and 1 O2 sensor. I know the front 2 are more often refereed to as O2 sensors, but that is in fact far from true. The A/F ratio sensors are VERY much different than O2 sensors, though they look very much alike. An A/F ratio sensor costs 2 to 3 times what an O2 sensor costs, and there is good reason for that. Indeed the 2 front sensors (A/F ratio) are identical.
