In all honesty, your best bet is to learn how to inspect them. And if they are good, leave them alone. Dont mechanically over-rev, and you'll be fine.

I'm at 110k on original retainers. I inspect them every 15k or so. I run my car to 9k constantly, and my car will be the prove-mule that you cant crack aa AP1 retainer without over-rev.

I have seen broken retainers in AP1s as low as 19k miles.
