ICP Sensor Replace

Went to do the 10K and found oil in my plug. Got a new one on fleabay for $36! Are there any torque specs for this booger? Any advice replacing? Loctite, etc?

I use german torque on pretty much everything (gutentight

)

I also used a little thread tape on it because that's what I had handy.

Thread tape being teflon tape? Was I right in assuming bad sensor since it had earl all over the plug? Think a crescent will get it, or do you know what size deep socket I need to pick up?

Yep....teflon tape. Not sure what the mm of the plug is, but my deep 1 1/16" socket fit it perfectly.

Yes. If oil is bleeding through the sensor it will soon fail.
