Can you clean an O2 sensor to extend life of sensor?

You can clean the probe with contact cleaner but this will not really ensure that the sensor will last longer. The sensor, like any other electrical component, will burn out and fail sooner or later. Replacement of the oxygen sensor is usually fairly simple and not so expensive either.

Hope this helps.
