Apex Seals

I have a 2006 RX8 with 44,000 miles on it. I take great care of the car and have it serviced on a regular basis. No one at the dealership has been able to answer my question. "What is the life span of the Apex seals"? I'm still paying on my car and I hate to think that once I have it paid off, I'll have to replace the motor which I hear is another $6,000.00. I don't race the car but I have been told to rev it at least once a week to burn off the carbon build-up. Can someone please give me some advise on how to properly take care of my Rotary engine?
Thanks! :-)
