It should be changed at about 95,000 km/ 60,000 miles
They usually start to dry rot after that. As far as I know, changing the belt is not part of any service interval It is considered a "wear" item that should be monitored and changed as needed. Last edited by RedRide; 09-28-2009 at 03:29 PM. |

change it when it starts to look beat up. it's not a mileage-specific date.

Could this be the noise I hear in my car, now I hear it while driving, and right before I come to a stop(I guess when the rpm drops to the lowest). Sqeaking noise to be exact. Im at 53k miles.
