Hi Guys
Just bought a used Mazda B3000 with 129000 Kilometers on it. V6 3 Litre.
The Check engine light is on although it seems to run fine. The dealership I bought it from says they replaced the O2 sensor to solve the problem, (maybe an aftermarket part) A Mechanic friend suggested maybe if it was an authentic Mazda part it mught relieve the problem. If both are off base I'm happy to listen to any advice.
Many Thanks

Hi
before we can continue with any further diagnose and condemn a bad O2 sensor or other need to have the codes
check for codes
any OBDII reader should be helpful
get the codes and let me know what you have
good luck
