honestly, i think o2 sensors are just a "plant" by manufacturers to drum up business for mechanics.

I'm sure some it really does help efficiency but I'm sure a lot of it is detrimental to the pocketbook for no other reason than $$$.

The old outboards in particular were simple to repair. Now you need computer surveillance equipment to get to the source of the bug.

i think that 1/2 of my expenses to auto mechanics for company vehicles is to do something after a check engine light came on due to an o2 sensor.

Huh, thought for sure you'd be a mechanic on top of everything else you do.

You can't be serious. You take your company vehicles in to a mechanic when the "check engine light" comes on? I haven't been in a company vehicle that didn't have that light on in 10 years.

Mechanical Engineer? You've got to be kidding

A mechanical engineer, who's never heard of C batteries, can't assemble a grill, doesn't understand a wax ring under a toilet, can't figure out why carpet doesn't belong in a bathroom, etc, etc.

Your list of mechanical ineptitude is too long for this tall tale

Thanks for the laugh
