  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.
