Bank 1, Sensor 2. OXY sensor installed by self. Check engine light was coming on & O'Rielly's checked codes for me. Mileage per gallon on trips using cruise control improved from 24/25 mpg to 26/28 mpg depending upon load in vehicle and percentage of time on cruise. Also I set cruise at 67 instead of 72. This helps as well. I am 2nd owner of this RAV4L and I am extremely well pleased! |
