I wouldn't do that. The new o2 sensors are (for lack of a better word) instant-on units. Unlike older generations. So trying a "universal" replacement will only lead to headaches and CEL's. (Sorry, I can't remember the correct name of these newer o2 sensors.)

Take the bath, or try finding an NTK unit in the aftermarket.
