Denso OE Style Oxygen Sensor 234-4988

Denso 234-4988 is a heated, specific-fit oxygen sensor built for direct replacement in select Subaru applications. It is engineered for the downstream position on Subaru WRX and Forester models, with OE-style fitment for accurate installation and dependable exhaust monitoring.

OE Style Fit and Sensor Design

This Denso OE Style oxygen sensor uses a threaded mounting design, a male connector, 4 wires, and a 9.53-inch wiring harness length. The heated sensor design supports faster operating temperature, while the specific-fit construction helps ensure the right connector, thread size, and harness layout for the application. Denso 234-4988 is built to match the original sensor location and function on Subaru WRX and Subaru Forester vehicles.
