Engine light just came on, went to Auto Zone for the diagnostic test. It's the upstream o2 sensor. Where exactly is it located and which one is the best on out there?

    Be careful with this diagnostic approach, a fault code is just a piece of information used to help you diagnose the problem, and replacing a part without a proper diagnosis is asking for trouble. If you post the code, we can provide some info that may help avoid replacing unneeded parts.
    If you do replace the part, I suggest using only OE parts. O2 sensors are tuned specifically for each engine, so using any aftermarket sensors may cause the check engine light to come on again.
