Belt Replacement
Recommendations The standard aftermarket
recommendation for replacing OHC timing belts has traditionally
been 60,000 miles - which is still a valid number for most older
vehicles. But NEWER belts last longer and may go 90,000 to
100,000 miles before the risk of failure starts to increase. In
Acura and Honda's case, this means most 1990 and newer models.
For Toyota, it's most 1998 and newer models.
According to Gates Rubber Company's "Timing Belt
Replacement Manual", these are "official" belt
replacement recommendations Acura, Honda and Toyota make for
their specific engines.
Please Note: On applications where no specific mileage
recommendation is given, it does not mean the timing belt
willast indefinitely and can be ignored. It only means the
vehicle manufacturer did not commit to a specific replacement
interval and recommends the belt be replaced as needed.
Also Note: On Acura and Honda applications with 105,000 mile
recommended replacement intervals, this does not include
vehicles that are operated in extreme climates (below -20°F or
above 110°F). For extreme climate conditions, the replacement
interval is reduced to 60,000 miles.
Honda also makes a time recommendation as well as mileage on
newer applications: 105,000 miles or 84 months, or 90,000
miles or 72 months depending on the engine.
