Or you could do the old fasion way, just check the plug to make sure prior to purchase.

This unfortunately isn't 100% reliable. Many times websites will use stock photos of similar models, so the connector in the picture may or may not be what you will get.Originally Posted by Darin Worthington

Ahh I see what you mean, lazy SOB!!!
Most of the good websites will not use stock photos, so I you go with the realoem, that should show the proper connectors. Once you find the P/N and a good pictures then goto amazon.com to pull your part that you need.

You mean Dane. I'm not the one who needs O2 sensors...

Earlier this week, I ordered Bosch 17215 & 17216 O2 sensors (front bank and rear bank, respectively) for my car's 100k mi birthday. The boxes arrived and had the correct labels on them.
Upon inspecting the part number on the O2 sensors themselves, they were both 17215 and were identical. d'oh! Did Bosch put the wrong part in one of the boxes?
I removed the O2 sensors from my car to investigate. The ones that came out were 17215 & 17216, but they looked identical (same wire length, connector, etc) except for the wire insulation: 17216 has gray insulation while 17215 has black.
I called my local Kragen to see if they had a 17216 in stock that I could examine. They didn't, but they said that their computer shows that 17215 should fit both front & rear bank... although they did have 17216 listed as well. Very odd... especially considering they were different prices!
Based on the info from Kragen, I decided to give it a shot - I installed the new 17215 in both banks. Took it for a drive - let it warm all the way up, did a few redline shifts.... runs great!
At this point I'm going to venture to guess that they are indeed identical except for the wire insulation color.
