Anyone have luck with a auto parts store replacement upstream O2 (O'reilly, Autozone, NAPA, etc)? How do u tell which one is the correct upstream O2? Local GM stealer, ah, dealership wants $247 for the part. Local Toyota house can't look it up without a Toyota VIN. I've got a CEL and code P0031.

B1S1; bank 1 sensor 1; technically an a/f sensor; located before the catalytic convertor.
B1S2; bank 1 sensor 2; technically the o2 sensor; located after the catalytic convertor.
ask the toyota dealership to pull up a diagram of the sensors. point to the one located before the catalytic convertor.

......and then the 'yota parts dude asks for the VIN, to narrow it down as to which O2 (multiple part #s based on VIN) and gives me that "deer in the headlights look" after I give them a non-'yota VIN.
