    Code : P2A04 Oxygen sensor question

    The P2A04 code keeps returning w/ CEL. Bank 2, Sensor 2..... There is a Bosh version, but I prefer the AC Delco? A bit more expensive, but I wonder if it's better to get the OEM part. Also, I can assume if one is failing, I should go ahead an replace both bank 2 sides?
