NTK 22524 Oxygen Sensor

Direct Fit Oxygen Sensor for Ford and Mazda

Restore accurate exhaust feedback with the NTK Direct Fit Oxygen Sensor, part number 22524. This heated, threaded, specific-fit oxygen sensor is built for direct replacement on select Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Mazda applications, including Ford F-150, Explorer, Ranger, and related models.

NTK Direct Fit Oxygen Sensors are engineered with OE-style fit, form, and function. As part of the NTK sensor line from the NGK family, this sensor is manufactured with ceramic technology and tested during production to help maintain reliable signal performance and consistent emissions control.

Key Features

• Heated oxygen sensor for faster operating response
• Specific-fit design for direct replacement installation
• 4-wire configuration with 17.75 in. wiring harness length
• Threaded mounting type with 18 mm thread diameter
• OE-style replacement for select upstream and downstream positions
• Part number 22524 for easy identification

Product Details

NTK part number 22524 is a direct fit oxygen sensor designed for vehicles that require precise air-fuel ratio feedback and emissions monitoring. It is listed for multiple Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Mazda platforms, with coverage that includes upstream right, upstream left, upstream, downstream right, and downstream left positions depending on application. Fits 2002-2008 Ford F-150, upstream right and upstream left; fits 2004-2010 Ford Explorer, upstream right and upstream left; and fits 2001-2011 Ford Ranger, upstream right, upstream left, and upstream. This sensor is also listed for Ford Expedition, Explorer Sport Trac, Freestar, Windstar, E-150, E-250, and related Mazda B-series trucks.

This part cross-references Bosch 13117 and DENSO Auto Parts 234-4401 for the same application.

What This Sensor Helps Address

• Check engine light related to oxygen sensor performance
• Incorrect air-fuel ratio readings
• Reduced emissions system efficiency
• Rough idle or drivability issues tied to sensor signal loss
• Delayed sensor response from a worn heated oxygen sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the exact year, make, model, and sensor position before ordering. This NTK oxygen sensor uses a threaded mounting design and a 4-wire heated configuration, so connector style and harness routing should match the original sensor. Confirm whether your vehicle requires an upstream or downstream sensor, since fitment varies by bank and position across Ford F-150, Explorer, Ranger, and other listed applications.

Quality Assurance

NTK is a major original equipment oxygen sensor manufacturer, and this sensor is manufactured and tested to meet or exceed OE specifications for fit and reliability. The brand’s focus on sensor technology and ceramic manufacturing supports consistent performance across import and domestic applications.
