Important: A special anti-seize compound is used on the oxygen sensor threads. The compound consists of a liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite will burn away, but the galss beads will remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New or service sensors will already have the compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is removed from the engine, and if for any reason it is to be reinstalled, the threads must have an anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation.
1. Coat the threads of the O2S with anti-seize compound, if necessary.
2. Install the O2S.
