Then you better change it.It sucks to have it pop on you.You should do it every 60,000 miles whether it needs it or not.and do the water pump and tensioner assembly while your in there.


The scheduled maint is 60K in Cali but 90K in other states. Same belt, same engine. That said, I believe the only reason it's 60K here is because of some stupid CARB/DOT regulation and not an actual functional reason.

Myself, I'll change it at 90K. While it's not a Major Job, it is significant enought that I'd rather wait the extra 30K.

As far as which brand to buy, I'd get the OE stuff if possible.
