Default Typical lifetime of 02 sensor?

What is the typical lifetime of an 02 sensor? 10 yrs? 100,000 miles?

Just wondering if I should just go ahead and replace mine while they're off the car anyway.

They are kinda like spark plugs in my eyes. Part of routine maintenance. If at all questionable replace them. I have seen some go a long time though and seem to work fine.

If you have longtube headers, except the lifetime expectancy to pretty much diminish.

If you are installing longtubes right now, just re-use the stockers until they go and then worry about replacing them.
