What brand of O2 sensor?
My 03 EX set an O2 sensor code the other day and I'm wanting to put in a new one but I'm unsure which brand is best. I'm new to the Civic world and I've heard they are sensitive to O2 sensors so I would rather not spend money on one that turns out to be junk.
BTW, the car has a small head gasket leak (exhaust gasses in the coolant) and is going in tomorow for that and the timing belt/water pump replacement. Should I wait to see if the code goes away after I get the car back or am I to assume it will need replacement?
Thanks!

Re: What brand of O2 sensor?
Also, my mpgs have been around 22-23 for a while in mostly city conditions- 29-30 on the highway. I really baby this car..it rarely sees 3k rpms and I coast as much as possible, so I'm inclined to believe my O2 is actually at fault. Any chance the head gasket could be effecting my mileage?

i threw an Denso direct OEM replacement in mine. I know for a fact, however, that the 04/05 air/fuel sensors are different from the 01-03 oxygen sensors. More expensive too so you'll be lucky there lol.
