Found an interesting detail in the Bentley manual. It says:
O2 Sensor Replacement:
1989-1994 - Every 60,000 miles
1995 - Every 100,000 miles
Coolant flush:
1989-1994 - Every 24 months
1995 - Every 36 months
Can anyone explain why the model year 1995 is different?

Maybe, but the original O2 sensor on the iX ran just fine for 150000 miles. Replaced it and exactly NOTHING changed. So, I'd say there's no reason to assume a 100000 interval isn't reasonable.
If you keep your car in an excellent shape, O2 sensor will probably outlive your engine.Originally Posted by SRR2
