Well if I detect any evidence that the failure cause is a coil itself leaking , that would be smell or oil leaking - then immediate replacement would occur.
But having some understanding of the how a capacitive discharge system works, if it's the charge capacitor starting to weaken - then conceivably a DIC could work quite well for a long time, even a very long.
As some other posters have noted - occasionally misfire or more likely partial misfires do occur even with a new DIC.
Kind of being cheap and curious at the same time - but on this 2004 it's would be DIC no 3 in under 100k miles and with some 120k plus miles on my 1999 the DIC was still good when I sold the car - but the 1999 had no predictive SW function.
