We present a measurement of the B[subscript s][superscript 0] lifetime in fully and partially reconstructed B[subscript s][superscript 0]→D[subscript s][superscript -](ϕπ[superscript -])X decays in 1.3 fb[superscript -1] collected in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.96 TeV by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We measure τ(B[subscript s][superscript 0])=1.518±0.041(stat)±0.027(syst) ps. The ratio of this result and the world average B[superscript 0] lifetime yields τ(B[subscript s][superscript 0])/τ(B[superscript 0])=0.99±0.03, which is in agreement with recent theoretical predictions.
