catalytic converter issues
1) are they using oe or aftermarket converters? If aftermarket always the same brand?
2) what is the process leading to replacing them - is it just a check engine light saying its underperforming or are you having actual drivability issues?
3) are the supposed bad cats looked at - are they melted? coming apart? coated in oil?

FYI,
Bosch recommendation is to change out O2 sensors every 100k miles. Bosch are original equipment on mine.
Upstream (S1) sensor output is used to adjust fuel mixture once the engine is warmed up.
I don’t know how long to expect them to last.
My O2 bank 1, sensor 1, failed at well over 100k miles and both were replaced. Might change out my S2 sensors due to age also.
