It would come to about $300. Is this worth attempting on my own?
I've done a few front and rear o2 sensors. How handy are you?

Look for one who has a reputation for being a) honest and b) competent.
An O2 sensor looks like a spark plug with a wire hanging out of it. You remove them with a slotted socket--but otherwise it's like changing a spark plug.
You do have to make sure you're changing the right sensor--often told to you by the OBDII code on a scanner. They can be expensive little parts.
And be sure to put antiseize grease on the threads of the new sensor.
correct - scoobs, for example, have front and rear o2 sensors
No matter the manufacturer, if you Google for Kia, Ford, Chevrolet, Datsun etc, etc forums, you'll certainly find an active forum that invites service questions, no matter how strange or complex... and almost always frequented by guys who really know their stuff.
It's the upstream O2 sensor. Bosch 15380. $75-100 or so.

Good picture there. I can do it. We'll see.
Need right wrench. might go this smooth.
Does the code clear automatically?
An O2 sensor could be as easy as unscrewing it and replacing it. But, getting access may be difficult and it may be corroded and hard to get off. Check Youtube for the DIY on your car.
Another reason to avoid the American car brands.

Toyota and Honda dealers in our area are the same. Complete rip-off. Too many examples to list specifics.Bad advice. Almost all of the dealerships operate the same way.
My friend recently work on a Cadillac in which the starter was below or inside the intake manifold. It took him about 7 hours from start to finish!!
There is absolutely noting that can happen to my diesel that I can't get technical advice on within minutes of posting in the forum.
