I'm looking at replacing my o2 sensors this summer and I know not to replace them with bosch. I've seen that everyone recommends to replace them with the ones from dealerships, but I was wondering would Delphi be the same as GM?
Thank you for any advice

As long as its not a bosch go for it. you can use the normal ones from a parts store, just not the bosch.
Whats wrong with going with bosch? Thanks
They are a good company, but for some reason they aren't good at making sensors and spark plugs for our car.

My upstream Bosch O2 (in the manifold) lasted about 2 weeks before going to @!#$. I warranty'd it and got another one. Same thing, 2 weeks later it fried. Grabbed a cheaper one (don't remember brand... its from Autozone) and that one has been in the car for almost 2 years with no problem.
As for downstream o2 sensors... mine is gone (no cat, no sensor) so I have no idea. haha

However - I do have Bosch Platinum+2 plugs in the car and haven't had any problem.

Just for some reason they do not work on our cars, and 99.9% of the time, you will have the same code (IE Heater element bad) even if its new and Bosch. Had that problem on my girls old vert, had a heater element CE light, replaced with Bosch, still there, replaced with cheaper off brand, no problems, and the sold the car. So if you wanna try your luck go for it, or listen to the other people that are telling you to stay away from Bosch and do it right the first time. Your call. Goodluck.
Just replaced my upstream 02 sensor with NTK works pretty good, My fuel mpg when way better.
