2008 Suzuki XL7 Limited 3.6L (transverse mounted 6 cyl) AWD... having trouble determining which manifold belongs to bank 1 and which manifold belongs to bank 2 (dual exhaust)... problem is bank 2 downstream O2 sensor... is bank 2 located nearest to the radiator, or nearest to the fire wall?

No sir... the left bank contained the forward cylinder (cylinder 1) making that bank one... the right bank closest to the radiator is bank 2.

For most vehicles, left bank is numbered 1, 3 and 5 making it bank one but for this engine, our database indicates otherwise.
