I have a 92' 4runner 3vze. I was reading in the owners manual that when the O2 sensor is malfunctioning you should bring the vehicle back to the dealer for replacement for free. Has anyone else done this? I just bought a new one then read this so I haven't installed it yet. Anyone? Thanks.

 

thats a funny one. thats actually in the manual?

 

ive got to see this, take a picture of the manual where it says that please

 

theres only one way to find out if it works. take it to the dealer and show them the book and tell them you want your free o2 sensor

 

You got me reading the owners manual now. What page, category?

 

*runs out to truck to get owners manual*

 

HOLY CRAP ITS THERE!!! page 166 in my 1994 4runner manual

 

lmao. nice. i guess that'll make it a little less expensive after the seafoam treatment, just in case it starts to malfunction or something. i can get a new one for free. woo

 

really.... makes me wonder if that is also in my 2002 manual

 

Oxygen sensor


Replace the oxygen sensor when scheduled. Your Toyota dealer will make this replacement (parts and labor) at no cost to you.

 

when schedualed?

 

oh there's the catch... its at 80,000 miles... but if they havent done it they should still honor it... "why yes, i do have 196k on the O2 sensor......"

 

i heard about this about a year ago and folks were saying that Toyota no longer honored the warranty. Still might as well go to the dealer and check it out.

 

humm i think i'll go for a drive......

 

i will most deff still go to the dealer and try it. lol. im actually comin up on 80k very soon. of course ive got a new odo so it only says like 15.5k or so. however, i will try it at some point. if anyone else does it do tell.

 

actually i'll wait till i have to goto walmart, thay way i'm not wasting 12miles/gal. gas just to find out they arent doing it anymroe

 

Sure enough it's there, only it's on page 158 on 90 model.

Imagine:

All over the US a dozen or so people rushed out to their trucks to read the manual.

 

The Revolution Has Started!!! Get It On!!

 

Why do I find that image so darned hilarious? hahahahah

 

If only my truck had an O2 sensor! I like free things
