What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[ToMang07]

Spent the day yesterday cleaning out the garage, putting the toys away and prepping for winter, as well as making space for the car.

Thankless job until it is done

The Front primary upstream (wideband) 02 sensors replaced @ roughly 14K as per OCD Specs. Lol.
The original 02 sensors were changed @ roughly 52-54K and look pretty much well done!
The ones changed today have roughy 12-14K on them IIRC and look pretty black while running rich which is ordinary especially while being tuned... 

I think the 02 sensors since playing such a critical role should be changed more often and categorized under severe conditions in conjunction with your spark plugs IMO!
The one sensor can be changed from TOP of the engine and located between the fans,while the other sensor can be accessed through the passenger side front wheel well with the wheel removed while using your basic 7/8 inch or 22mm socket-wrench...

Ford calls @ 60K intervals Ha! 30K minimum @ best ! Something we neglect to change.  Z

I purchased these front 02 sensors from www.rockauto.com a few days ago for a grand total of $110.00 for TWO!

These are the alternative to the original stock MOTORCRAFT DY1185 -8F9Z9F472H which are the exact fitment with the only difference is the longer harness length which comes in handy. 

I'm a pretty happy camper since the prices have substantially increased on these bad boys. Z

My god I can only imagine what mine look like. 53k and all the 100 octane race fuel I've run through them. Looks like one more thing to add to the list for the winter. Thanks for the pics Z

Its my pleasure,but if I tell you that you will notice an increase in power you will change them sooner than later since they control the AFR!  Z

Eh, I think 30K is too soon...

Most of what you are seeing is discoloration of the shielding...

IDK about that.  The 14K plugs look pretty bad.  Could be cleaned like all those YT videos tell you to but do widebands react the same as narrowbands to these methods?

I don't see many if any pics of oxygen sensors being pulled say every 10K miles to know if this is an exception or not.  Stock vs tuned.

Did a Battery reset/relearn via IDS! Time to Train the Redhead to relearn its values.  Z

Here's a pic of the new MC-DY-1184 senor which the harness-length is a bit longer than the stock MC-DY-1185 @ roughly 14K or less for comparison.....

So what did you use for the IDS reset ?
