The Oxygen Sensor: Your Truck’s Engine Lifeline

“My truck’s gas mileage is terrible. I heard replacing the oxygen sensor will fix it.” Sound familiar? Let’s explore how oxygen sensors impact truck performance with Hanoi Truck.

What is an Oxygen Sensor?

Introduction

The oxygen sensor, also known as the O2 sensor, is a small component located in the exhaust system. Often referred to as the engine’s “lungs,” it measures the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust gases. This data is sent to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to adjust the air-fuel mixture for optimal engine performance.
