Replacing Secondary O2 sensor for second time in 2 years
Hi Everyone,
I got a check engine light and the code is to replace Secondary O2 sensor. I replaced it once already a couple years ago. Is there anything else that could be wrong that would cause the sensor to fail so quickly?
Thanks for your help.

what year? 2004-2005 have the wideband O2 sensor and much more expensive
PS: burning oil is the most common cause of O2 sensor/cat going fast - ask me why i know
