Yes, I believe the o2 sensor interval is 60k.

its so people don't use it in the wrong way. like GD.

and as far as the O2 sensor, i didn't know they hadn't been replaced until i asked my uncle last night, and we're pretty sure the previous owner didn't, but either way they have atleast 100,000 miles on them since my uncle got the car, theres only two of them right?

I think there is only one.. It should be on the drivers side exhaust manifold, I changed mine two days ago with a 7/8 open end wrench.

YES!!! That 02 sensor is killing your gas mileage big time. Expect an increase of 5-7 mpg if everything else is in good tune.
