All quite true.

No. nonsense.

Replacement oxygen sensors for most vehicles are
available on eBay, and trivial to replace since they generally screw
in to some location on the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe, with snap-
on electrical connectors.

So they don't regulate 'oxygen flow' to the engine AT ALL. They control the
richness of the mixture by examining the oxygen content in the exhaust which
is another thing entirely. Also called Lamda sensors.

The air flow INTO the engine is measured by the *air mass meter*.
