The OE number, or Original Equipment Number, is a unique identifier that is assigned to each part that is manufactured by a vehicle manufacturer. The OE number can be used to identify the correct part for your vehicle, and it is important to make sure that the OE number of the NOx sensor that you purchase matches the OE number of the original NOx sensor. If the OE numbers do not match, the NOx sensor may not work properly in your vehicle.
Make sure to check the OE number of the original NOx sensor before I purchase a new NOx sensor from your store.
