OE Style Design and Construction
Denso’s OE Style line is built to the same dimensional and performance expectations used in original equipment service. The 234-4989 is precision-built for exact replacement fitment, helping simplify installation on the correct Subaru Legacy or Subaru Outback application. Denso also uses an aluminum oxide trap layer to help protect the sensing element from silicone and lead contamination, supporting stable sensor operation over time.
This part cross-references NTK 24651 for the same application.
