Thanks Jim,
for the helpful info.

I say it is original. I think it is the original.
Does honda service ever replace O2 sensor in any of there regular
service intervals ? I do not remeber ever seeing the O2 sensor
being replaced but i did take the car in for whatever the **BIG**
service intervals were ( ? 90K / 120K / 150K ? the numbers escape
my memory)

Oh well, time to start replacing stuff.

So, in other posts i read... Denso seems to make good O2 sensors
? Is that a good brand to look for ?

Thanks for any helpful opinions and advice,

robb
