Don't replace your sensor based on the OXS light. The OXS light on your car
is activated by a mileage counter and the system has no clue if the sensor
works or not. There is a mileage counter box, inline in the speedo cable,
near the fuse panel and there is a recessed  reset button. You push it in
with a pen or small screwdriver until you hear the soft thud of the counter
resetting. It comes on every 30,000 miles.
If you are concerned about the sensor, test it or get it tested.

Thanks
Jim

Looking for a little advice.

The idiot light for the OXS decided to turn on early this week. I don't
know how long it has been since the oxygen sensor has been changed. I have
been quoted $109 for a new one. It looks easy to change. How soon should I
change the sensor? What is a good price?

Thanks
