I too have suffered from Bosch Platinum failures at low miles in other GM vehicles I've owned. As such, neither of my Bonnevilles will ever see one.

My 93 needed a new O2 sensor 3 years ago. Our bad experiences hadn't become apparent at that time, although there were some grumblings already. The O2 restored SOME lost efficiencey, but not all of it, and the sensor totally failed 30 days later.

You won't get any better than the links I provided. They sell at cost + 10%, and no one wants to sell for less than that. So does GM Parts Direct, but they tack on the high shipping so they can make at least a few bucks. They're like the guys on ebay that sell something at just over cost, but have a $35 shipping charge for an item like a cell phone!
