Mine failed at 75k, although I think it was weather related

I was expecting it.. and doing oil cap test every week, and it was passing with flying colors

Then I went for a vacation in December and turned down the heat in the house.. when I came back it was waaaay sub freezing in Seattle, and the garage was frozen, actually a bottle of water on the table near my box was all frozen.

Next day I drive to work.. and BAM.. well more like SQUICK and oil light on the dash going on and off... did the oil cap test, bought new AOS from local indy and spent 4 hours until 2 am changing it..

Next day.. my daily driver was up and running

PS; If you're gonna change AOS, buy one of those clamp tools, I spend 3 hours taking AOS out, one of the clamp wouldn't come out no matter what I did, installation back was 20 min
