Benja455, you're not paying attention! Sensors may last forever or they may leave you stranded with only 25K miles on your car. "You replace them when they go out!" You could replace every sensor in your car only to have one fail within a day/week/month. That's what the CES warning on your dash is for, that's letting you know a sensor took a dump...Gary

The thing is, say you were to replace a sensor early. If you don't do the install properly, you can look at an instant to fast failure. The quality of the replacement may not be as good as the original. It's best to leave it as is.
Things such as the O2 sensors slowly go out, and there checks to catch these things. Hence CEL and SES lights.
Another thing to consider, these are sensors. The sensors are being read by a computer. When it's not getting a proper reading, you'll know instantly. There's plenty of old school cars still rolling about so no stress.

Once you've been given a logical/correct answer and it was ignored, we assumed you some how missed it. Do you understand yet...sensors only need to be replaced once they fail? I'm like totally relaxed sitting here in my air conditioned office in beautiful SoCal...no worries!

Hi guys
I ask because, when a CEL appear, sometimes it doesnt indicate clearly what the real issue is.
For example some CEL shows, Can be an O2, sensor, can be the TPS, but maybe can be the camshaft sensor, is not clear with that information and you have to begin to spend money like crazy just to know what the issue is, so that's why I was asking for a recommended change time for the sensor, but if its not possible
