Your body needs oxygen to stay in motion. As it turns out, so does your car. One of the reasons that oxygen is so important to your vehicle is because gasoline requires the presence of oxygen to burn.

And just as your body requires a specific amount of oxygen to operate at full speed, so too does your luxury vehicle. That’s where the Mercedes S500 Oxygen Sensor comes in.

A part of your emissions control system, it monitors the ratio of air to gasoline and adjusts the amount of fuel entering the engine to maintain that oh-so-precious perfect ratio. This ratio is important because it helps your car run at maximum efficiency. If there is too little oxygen mixing with the gasoline (called a rich mixture), then there will be unburned fuel left over after combustion. This unburned fuel is wasted, leaving you with reduced fuel efficiency and the environment with increased pollutants. In contrast, too much oxygen mixing with the gasoline (called a lean mixture) will produce nitrogen-oxide pollutants and may cause poor car performance or even engine damage. These unwanted scenarios are easily avoided by your Mercedes S500 Oxygen Sensor. Positioned in the exhaust pipe, the oxygen sensor constantly monitors your emissions for rich or lean mixtures. If such a mixture is detected, it sends a message to your engine’s computer to adjust the amount of fuel accordingly. Because it is constantly making adjustments due to a number of outside factors, a quality oxygen sensor is important. This Mercedes S500 Oxygen Sensor was manufactured to original equipment specifications so you know you are getting a quality part.Pick up this oxygen sensor today for maximum fuel efficiency and minimum pollution emissions.
