I have the original battery in the 02 LE with 83k miles.

Should I replace it preemptively? It's 5 years old and getting into that territory where things begin to fail.

i would say go ahead since i had to change my some time this year. It was at 5 years and it kicked the bucket. I replaced it with the Optima Reptop battery. thing is heavy.

I would replace it. No reason to wait until it fails, or leaks, or whatever.

Anything that is BCI group 35 should fit.

However, I suggest that you just keep close tabs on it, and replace it only when you sense that it's about to die, eg. it takes longer than usual to crank.
