So, these should last well over 100K miles like the original ones they replaced. If replacing these yourself, it's a relatively easy job. Just unplug the harness, unscrew the old sensor, screw in the new sensor, and plug the new harness back in. If care and the proper tools aren't used, however, one can easily strip the threads, since the heat seems to 'weld' these sensors on over time.
