The original cassette went at just over 60,000 miles.
The replacement threw the check engine light about 132,000 so not too different from the original except it didn't die and leave me stranded.
The spark plugs had 38,000 on them at the time and a week or two later I got another check engine light so I changed the spark plugs which were overdue, although I have run them out to 45,000 in the past with no problem.
No problems in the 30,000 + miles since, so it may be that the spark plugs were a contributor and I could have run the DI Cassette longer, but I decided to just use it as a spare.
FYI: I failed to mention it in my original response but I have changed the center serpentine belt pullies at 60,000 mile intervals when changing the belt as part of the routine maintenance. I also changed the one on the belt tensioner at 120,000.
