Replacing the oxygen sensor can save fuel, but the exact amount saved depends on the vehicle's condition and driving habits. The oxygen sensor's function is to monitor the vehicle's exhaust, detecting the oxygen content in the exhaust and then feeding the results back to the ECU. The ECU then uses this data to control the amount of air entering the cylinders and the fuel injection for the next cycle, ensuring complete fuel combustion and avoiding waste and pollutant production. However, if the oxygen sensor is faulty or has deteriorated due to prolonged use, the ECU cannot receive accurate data, leading to imprecise control of air intake and fuel injection, which results in fuel wastage. Oxygen sensors should be inspected and replaced approximately every 100,000 kilometers.
