Normal Service
Driven More Than 10 Miles Daily
No Operating Conditions From Severe Service Schedule
Severe Service (Unique Driving Conditions)
CAMSHAFT TIMING BELT
Inspect timing belt at 60,000 miles or 48 months and thereafter inspect timing belt every 15,000 miles, or 12
months. Replace belt as necessary.
The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be checked on vehicles which have more than 50,000
miles. Although some manufacturers do not recommend belt replacement at a specified mileage, others require
it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine
components on most engines, although some designs do not allow piston-to-valve contact. These designs are
often called Free Wheeling.
Many manufacturers changed their maintenance and warranty schedules in the mid-1980's to reflect timing belt
inspection and/or replacement at 50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules in this manual reflect
these changes.
Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any of the following conditions exist:
Cracks Or Tears In Belt Surface
Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth
Oil Contamination
Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners
Incorrect Tension Adjustment NOTE: Use the Severe Service schedule if the vehicle to be serviced is operated under
ANY (one or more) of these conditions:
Towing a trailer or using a camper or car-top carrier.
Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in temperatures below freezing.
Extensive idling or low-speed driving for long distances as in heavy
commercial use such as delivery, taxi or patrol car.
Operating on rough, muddy or salt covered roads.
Operating on unpaved or dusty roads.
CAUTION: Failure to replace a faulty camshaft timing belt may result in serious
engine damage.
