Need O2 sensor for '06
Check engine light came on in my '06. Plugged in my OBDC-II reader and the code is for the O2 sensor. A little checking tells me it should not be overly difficult to replace the sensor.
There are two, right? Should I replace both? Is it worth a DIY repair? I enjoy doing these things, but if I'm not really saving money over bringing it to my local garage, I kind of have a lot on my plate these days. They've quoted me over the phone as this repair costing, at most, somewhere in the $400 range - half that if it's the lessor of the two sensors that need replacing. (I forget if it's pre or post.)
Where is a good place to get this part?

There are a lot of good threads on the O2 Sensors...from what I've read the majority fo the problems are with the pre-cat sensor. Most folks seem to recommend the NTK O2 sensors. I got mine on Amazon but haven't changed it yet...mine has been a bear to get off and I'm waiting to change it by removing the exhaust manifold...when you do that though they recommend new bolts and of course a new gasket.

No need to replace both at same time. They are also interchangeable ( same part both locations ) for purposes of diagnostics, but serve a different function due to location.

Yep, check its right here. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...o2-sensor.html
Might be out of the 10 yrs.
I believe bank 1 is the front and bank 2 is the rear if you have the code reader. I did one then about a couple months (the bank 1 went) later I did the other. That's why it might be easier to do both. Save you another fix.
