As part of your regular tune up process, you should be replacing your Jeep Wrangler oxygen sensor. An oxygen sensor is a small electronic device that is part of the exhaust system that measures the proportion of oxygen in the gas that is in your internal combustion engine. It then feeds the information to the computerized Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which in turn is able to control the efficiency of the combustion process.

The Jeep Wrangler oxygen sensor helps to determine if your gasoline has a steady level of oxygen in it. Fuel that is not stable can cause damage to the catalytic converter and can lead to costly repairs.

When the oxygen sensor is doing its job properly, you get the best fuel economy possible, improving your gas mileage by as much as 10 to 15 percent. You will also get the smallest exhaust emissions that are possible. Depending on the year that your particular Wrangler was made determines how frequently the oxygen sensor should be replaced. For those that have an unheated sensor in a vehicle made between 1976 and the early 1990s, it should be replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. For vehicles with a heated sensor made between the mid 1980s and the mid 1990s, change it every 60,000 miles. For heated sensor vehicles made after the mid 1990s, replace it every 100,000 miles. By replacing your Jeep Wrangler oxygen sensor according to the given schedule, it will save you money in the long run by saving fuel, and keeping other exhaust parts in working condition.If it is time for you to replace your Jeep Wrangler oxygen sensor, let us help you.
