I have a Nissan 2000 sentra GXE model. 132K mileage. I am planning to drive it to minnesota(400 miles from my place). It has the service engine soon light on and It was deduced as the O2 censors being faulty. And the engine heat is always at like 40% even for a short distance drive. So the question is whats the best bet of me reaching there in my car? :D

O2 sensor will not cause the engine to quit on you
But by you driving that long way it may cause other damage to your car like the converter
And if it’s not overheating on you 40% it’s not bad
Make sure you check all your fluid tire pressure and E brake too before leaving
Take a look at the belts too
If not fixing o2 sensor you will spend more on gas
Good luck
