Default check engine light on

check engine light came on a while ago went to orielys and checked the codes and it said both banks to lean. but it drinks gas like crazy. so i was thinking the O2 senser?anyway anybody ever use those O2 simulators?

NEVER buy a sensor based only on a code. Check for vacuum leaks or other problems that will cause lean codes. Especially the PCV rubber connection to the intake manifold.
