O2 sensors for 550

motormike · 03-04-2011, 04:51 PM

NAPA has the Bosch O2 sensors with the same part # (for less money) but a mechanic in Gardena who works on Ferraris says they don't last as long as the ones (with the same part #) from Ferrari.

Hah?

Make sure these sensors have the same connector and lead length as well.

I've never had good luck buying non OEM O2 sensors. It's generally a bunch of hassle.

I don't blame your mechanic for his lack of interest, I'd recommend OEM as well.

If it's a bosch part with the same part number then it is the same part......use it and enjoy your savings.
