The difference is usually in the wiring layout and the plug. They do make universal sensors that you have to cut and splice wires and figure out what colors go where but they can be a real pain in the u know what.
The real difference in upstream and downstream is the information that they report. The sensors work the same. Try to stay with a direct fit if you can.
