I have seen the MAF sensor need to be replaced and cause this code FYI. I can also be a vacuum leak. Chances are the oxygen sensor replacement will not fix the issue, but you can give it a shot. Please go over this guide which will show you the causes of a lean mixture:

The P0174 code indicates that the ECM (Engine Control Module) has detected a lean condition on Bank 2

Here is the location of the sensor as requested which will be the first sensor on the left side of the engine. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
