Why would you want to censor oxygen? We kinda need it to breathe

No experience with that brand, never heard of them. 4 O2 sensors for $59? And he has make an offer??

Too cheap to be a quality part.

I have used denso 02 sensors with no problems.

Denso upstream, not that much more.

Denso down stream sensors

Do you have codes? Down stream sensors rarely fail. I'd buy quality upstream sensors and leave the down stream. If the front 02 sensors have been bad for a while, the cat may already be bad, and the downstream sensors are fine , just the cat isn't.

Thanks for your reply. Very grateful.

Ditto the above although you could also get them from Rockauto.com. Might be slightly cheaper with the 5% off code and especially if you have other minor items to add to the order.

I used Denso's in a Ford Taurus, never changed the downstream ones and the car had over 200k on the originals when I got rid of it. Technically it's a little more money because they're about $25 each instead of $15 each for 4 of them, but if you just get 2, it's still cheaper than $60 for 4. But yeah, I'd rather get a name brand part. I think my Denso's even came with a tube of lube.
 
Oxygen sensors have expensive metals inside of them (platinum I believe). If the sensor is unusually cheap it likely doesn't have a substantial amount of platinum to make them durable.

A good, durable sensor won't be cheap and a cheap sensor won't be good or durable.
 
I, too, would stay away from them. I've had my best luck with Denso and MC, not so much with Bosch.
 
Those seem sketchy USA flag and all. I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole, NTK, Denso, Bosch, or Walker from Rock Auto.
Walker uses a Denso pill and fits their own connector and nice one at that, Bosch was IIRC OE on the earlier 5.4 and 4.6.
