Free O2 sensor replacment

AH64ID · 04-15-2006, 12:58 PM

Both of my rigs, my previous 95 and my current 92, have a line in the owners manual that says the dealership will replace the o2 sensor at no cost to the owner.

How common is this? When I had the one in my 95 replace the dealership said they hadn't seen that before, but toyota paid for it.

Mabye if some of you work at a dealership you could let us know. I have 160K on my 92 and am doing the full exhaust next month and want a new o2 sensor, and heck might as well get it for free. Just want to know if there is a mileage limit on it? I dont think I have seen a reccommended replacment interval, but my owners manual isnt with me so I can look.

When they did the one on my 95 it was at 125K, but there was no record of toyota doing it prior to that.

hmmm. when i called the dealership, they first asked how many miles were on my rig, i said 130kish and the guy just laughed. So maybe they were just screwing me. something the dealership is good at im sure

Your just overdue...if its never been done they cant refuse you.

SnoViking · 04-15-2006, 03:28 PM

i already put a new one in myself about 3 months ago... so its all done.. plus then the cat went bad -> fixed that too

Bumpin' Yota · 04-15-2006, 04:41 PM

lol - going to the dealership! LOL

I remember when they quoted me 600+ bucks to change my cat, then later they wanted 450 for a new alt + install!

(90 bux for the HiFlow Carsound Cat, and 145 for a pepboys alt, and about 2 hrs of grunt work and I saved over 900 bux!)

what page?

I called Toyota Coporate about this as well several months ago as it is the same in my owner's manual. They said they would replace if under 100,000 miles for free.

thx!

I guess it depends on the dealership, I had mine done at 125K.

definitely worth a shot to ask dealership about it. If you are a loyal customer they may hook you up.

No such luck here, even after talking to Corporate

I have my stock gauges with 86k....quick gauage swap and you have a truck under 100k

edit: this is a joke as I know that is fraud--sort of....my truck says 181,xxx, but that isn't accurate
