1 wire Vs. 3 wire OXS



As many have said, get the 3-wire one.

The reason is that (as you know) since the 16v location is so far from the
head, it stays colder much longer. What you may not realize is that if you
have a catalytic converter then it's life will be drastically shortened by
the heat generated by the extra fuel.

The difference in cost is small compared to the cost of a catalytic
converter.
