<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Universal Sensors Receive Positive Reviews
Customers who purchased universal oxygen sensors on the shopping site Amazon.com left generally positive reviews of the devices. One positive review explained that the universal sensor offered easy wiring and worked as a direct replacement on his vehicle. According to the automotive website AA 1 Car, universal sensors can work as a drop-in replacement on many vehicles, providing a low-cost alternative to expensive factory components.
On the Other: Universal Sensors may not be Universal
Although the name implies that a universal oxygen sensor will work on any brand of vehicle, automotive vendor Walker Products points out that universal models consist only of a base sensor that lacks many of the specific components found in modern vehicles. The Walker Products explanation goes on to explain that base sensors vary significantly from vehicle to vehicle.
Bottom Line
Universal sensors, when properly selected to precisely match a vehicle, can work. Users must exercise extreme caution when shopping for universal sensors, though, to ensure the model they purchase will work as needed.
