i dont think they are "new and improved"

they are said to last around 60k miles and i believe that.
when i bought the car with 111k miles the previous owner had replaced the AOS once. at around 120k miles i replaced it again.

AOS and crappy water pump seem to be "consumables" in these cars.

replace water pump every 50-60k as preventive maintenance (you dont want that failing on you) and dont replace the AOS until it fails, it will give you time to replace it before it does any real damage.

people try to get the most out of each AOS but keep one ready for when the time comes.. because it will come
