NGK Lincoln Continental 1996-1995 Direct Fit Oxygen Sensor

This is an NGK oxygen sensor, part number 22016, designed to fit a range of vehicles including the Lincoln Continental, Ford Mustang, and Mercury Cougar. Oxygen sensors are a key part of your vehicle's diagnostic system, working to keep the engine running at its best. They send constant information to the engine control unit (ECU) about the air-fuel mixture, which helps maximize fuel efficiency and reduce harmful emissions. A properly functioning sensor also alerts the OBDII system if there are issues with fuel delivery or the catalytic converter.

NGK, a well-known name in ignition and sensor technology, builds these sensors with an advanced ceramic element. This element features a three-stage protective coating that acts as a plasma jet and deposit trap. This design helps shield the sensor from contaminants that can poison the element and cause it to fail prematurely. Because NGK is a major OEM supplier, they use technology developed alongside vehicle manufacturers to ensure reliable performance and resistance to common failure points.
