Is my O2 sensor failing? 850 1996

Greetings.

My CHECK ENGINE light came on last summer while sitting in traffic on a hot day. (Dealer had a 2week wait to get me in. 2 days later the light went off. It did this a couple of times last summer. I had the codes read (O2 sensor slow response/or something similar). We cleared the codes and it stayed off for abt a month. Springtime, sitting in traffic on a hot day, it came back on.

Is it safe to say my O2 sensor is baked? And if so, does the non-Volvo generic sensor I've read so much about work okay? I plan to change it myself.

Thanks in advance.
