I actually bought my o2 sensors at amazon when I replaced them last fall.

Hopefully I can then pass emissions again and be all set for several more years!

Thanks everyone, I just went with RockAuto using the discount provided above.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

One of my universal sensors has gone bad now after about six years since installation.
Figured if I'm going to go in there and swap one out I might as well do all four. So what's the best place to buy these in a set?
I think I'd rather go direct fit this time so there's no splicing or prep work needed to get these set up.
Thanks!
For 996 parts, usually I check PelicanParts, Warehouse33, and RockAuto.
I use the PCA discount at PelicanParts, the Rennlist 10% discount at Warehouse33, and my standard 5% off at RockAuto.
(I buy hundreds of dollars worth of parts for client cars each month at RockAuto)
I put what I need in the shopping cart and then start checking out so I can see shipping costs, because that can make a huge difference!
It's not worth the time to me to search any farther.

Luckily I've been thinking about replacing my
O2 sensors
when I install my Fabspeed X-Pipe setting in my garage, so I looked up the current prices.
(I'll keep the old ones with the factory cats)
For a 2002 992, here's the cost shipped to me for Bosch non-universal
O2 sensors
:
RockAuto:
$318.99 with discount shipped
Warehouse33:
$378.91 with discount shipped
PelicanParts:
$494.00 No discount code (not working) shipped
I have moved alot of parts for my various cars to Amazon. Easy to shop. If they aren't cheaper then I buy elsewhere. I don't like rockauto shipping nonsense when they charge for each warehouse. I want an easier way to see total price and Amazon gives it.
I also use sunset Porsche regularly to include when I did my front brakes. They offered a discount over the phone be and quick shipping.
I actually bought my o2 sensors at amazon when I replaced them last fall.
FCP Euro. I've been using them since 2011 for all of my Euro cars. Lifetime warranty and 1-year return policy on ALL parts is why I am loyal to them. Prices are pretty good, too. As a business owner myself, I respect their business model.
Thanks everyone, I just went with RockAuto using the discount provided above.
Ahsai - for the second link with the downstream sensor, the Bosch 13564, Amazon tells me this one doesn't fit the 2002 3.6 engine?
In any case the parts should hopefully be here by next weekend and I'll install them. Hopefully I can then pass emissions again and be all set for several more years!
For your 996, this is the right downstream sensor

Link corrected above.
I understand.
But RockAuto doesn't "own " the individual warehouses, they're in a cooperative agreement.
I tried to get a direct buy wholesale agreement with the one nearby me that sell most of the �ro parts that I order for BMW and Porsche.
They don't want to deal directly with customers.
Sending unused client parts back to all the warehouses is a pain, and I rarely do that because of the individual shipping costs.
I don't mind stocking BMW or Porsche parts, but I can't stock every model of car that I work on.
I have more Honda and Toyota parts than I care to have already!
For you that might be correct, but in the continental US RockAuto usually beats Amazon.
In this case it beats it by over $170.
I know someone who only buys from
Bap-geon.com
, and a couple of others who only buy from Amazon.
Bap-geon is usually the quickest at supplying parts, and the person who I know that uses the exclusively usually wants the job done quickly.
For most makes and models, RockAuto usually wins on price, which is what my clients usually want.
Occasionally
partsgeeks.com
wins, but very rarely.

Yes, oops my math was wrong.(not sure what I did, I'll blame it on long day of work and late night with a few IPAs)
Amazon: 2 x $91.78 + 2 x $100 = $383.56
RockAuto shipped price for 4 O2 sensors $318.99.
$64.57 difference.
I admit that I really like RockAuto, but I'm just a satisfied customer, with no real affiliation.
If you prefer to deal with Amazon, and the extra cost is alright with you, then go ahead and use them, that's not a horrible price!
I buy LOTS of stuff from Amazon, just not many car parts.
I would rather have the extra $64 to spend on gas or beers for the shop fridge.
I wish I got something for sharing my code.
But alas, it really doesn't benefit me.
They do say to feel free to share the discount code, so I usually have a code or two available.
Then the difference in price is minimal, that's awesome.
Maybe around $10 difference in Amazon's favor.
Plus with Prime, Amazon should deliver 1 day earlier.
But Amazon won't deliver a cool magnet.
I like multiple sources!
Glad to know that's the correct part number then, since I just ordered 4 O2 sensors from RockAuto.
But does anyone have cooler magnets than RockAuto?
These are the ones I have at home.
I have more on a Car Ministry dedicated toolbox.
If you look closely you'll see a couple of Porsche ones.
Yes, I'm easily bribed. Ha!
You should see my disappointed face when they forget to include a magnet.
Yeah, when I did the math, Amazon won.
I've heard great things about FCP Euro, I just never had ordered from them yet.
Partsgeek is hit or miss for me...mostly miss though.
You sure about that? Those look like 3.6L parts.

I orderd 13564 for my 2000 3.4L.
