have a 97 Honda Civic Manual transmission and my Check Engine Light Came On. The error code is P0135 which shows up as needing a O2 sensor. My question is:

#1. Do I need to replace it?
#2. How long do I have to replace it?
#3. Will driving with it as it hurt my car?

I live in Wisconsin and the weather is getting colder and I read that could be the cause. I really don't have much extra money but I don't want to kill the car. I have kept up on Oil Changes with MaxLife Full Synthetic, Radiator Flush, etc if that matters. I also went into Valoviline Instant Oil Change and they double checked all of the fluid levels and that was OK.

Could be the O2 sensor itself, wiring problem on it and the computer have it further checked
