GM Original Equipment Oxygen Sensors
These Lambda Sensors are Original Equipment (OE) components manufactured for the General Motors (GM) group, including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Pontiac, Saturn, Saab, Isuzu, and Opel vehicles.
Important Note: These four OE numbers represent different sensors with different cable lengths, connector configurations, and fitting positions, though they are closely related and often grouped together in parts catalogues. Always verify your original sensor's part number, connector shape, cable length, and position before ordering.
