Maybe is. Maybe not. Got a parts/labor breakdown?

High-quality OEM oxygen sensors are *very* expensive. Odd that *both* of
them need to be replaced. Been using leaded gas?

Why do you "need" to get them replaced? What prompted this?

I don't believe leaded gas is sold anymore in the US,outside of special
racing fuels.(like NASCAR)

There's no such thing as an O2 light. If you're thinking of the amber
"Check Engine Light", it could mean one of many possibilities. Your car
uses OBD-II, so you need to retrieve the codes with an OBD-II scan tool.
