O2 sensors S80 2001

I have a check engine code regarding bad O2 sensor. I know there are two on the exhaust header and I think one at the rear on the exhaust pipe behind the catalytic converter. My question is : Can I use Bosch universal O2 sensors, rather than the exact fit sensor? I have heard others say that an O2 sensor is generic and does not have to be from the dealer.

    Auto parts store can sell you the correct sensor. Do not buy from the dealer. The code should tell you which one. It would not be all 3.

      Thanks. I already purchased Bosch exact fit replacements. I replaced both front sensors, but have not tackled the two rears. The sensors were easy to get to, but the wiring plugs were in a place under the left side of the engine compartment, nearly unreachable, except with the engine sub-frame dropped from the car. It took me several hours to get them un-plugged and replaced. The two rear sensors require dropping the front exhaust pipe and removing the heat shield. They are located on the top of the twin pipes, with no verical clearance from the heat shield. I do not have a lift, so am trying to think of a way to gain enough clearance using only jacks and stands.
