Bosch Oxygen Sensor P/N:13885
Bosch 13640 left oxygen sensor for the 1996-2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500 V8 5.0L reads the exhaust and sends air-fuel-ratio feedback to the engine computer. This Bosch O2 sensor is the upstream left unit, giving the ECU the measurements it uses for stable combustion control and helping reduce emissions.
A worn sensor can show up as a check engine light, a rough idle or higher fuel use, but each of those can have other causes. Before replacing it, look over the wiring and connector with the engine off and cool for cracked or melted insulation.
It fits the 1996-2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500 V8 5.0L, which takes one sensor in this position. This listing is one sensor for the upstream left; the other side is a separate part.

How can I tell this upstream left sensor is wearing out?
A check engine light, a rough idle or higher fuel use can mean the sensor is wearing out, though other faults cause the same signs. A shop can read the codes to confirm.
Do I need to add anti-seize to the threads of this sensor?
No. The threads come with conductive anti-seize already applied, and the connectors are direct-fit.
