I hosted a survey on the list here and did the statistics, and while the average was like 150K (search to get the actual numbers), the standard deviation was huge (30 K) despite a reasonably large sample size. Further, the results weren't a nice "bell shaped curve" but rather a "barbell", with a clump of early failures (under 100K) and a clump of long lived units (180 K plus).
Best advice? Like you said. I did mine at about 115K. And it's a good time to change the water pump too. They can also leave you stranded. I changed mine at the same time and was shown some red stains by the weep hole. Never a drop on the floor, though.
