Timing belt and water-pump inspection

Track belt replacement by both age and mileage. This is an engine-specific workshop job, not a generic belt replacement procedure.

← Back to specifications

IntervalNormal and severe: replace at 110,000 mi or 7 years, whichever comes first; inspect the auto-tensioner and water pump. If regularly operated above 110°F (43°C) or below -20°F (-29°C), replace the timing belt every 60,000 mi.Verified

01 / Requirements

Before ordering: Confirm the engine code, service history and complete service procedure. Inspect the water pump when the applicable schedule calls for it.
Schedule applicability: Use the severe schedule when driving mainly on trips under 5 miles (under 10 miles in freezing weather), above 90°F/32°C, in extensive idling or stop-and-go use, with a roof rack or on mountain roads, or on muddy, dusty or de-iced roads. Occasional severe use follows the normal schedule. U.S. schedules only.
