When should you replace your timing belt?
If your engine uses a timing belt (not a chain), replacement is typically due at 60,000–105,000 miles. Many modern engines use a chain that lasts the life of the engine — check your model below.
Why it matters: A snapped timing belt on an 'interference' engine can destroy the engine — this is the one interval you do not skip.

FAQ
When should you replace your timing belt?
If your engine uses a timing belt (not a chain), replacement is typically due at 60,000–105,000 miles. Many modern engines use a chain that lasts the life of the engine — check your model below.
Why does replace a timing belt matter?
A snapped timing belt on an 'interference' engine can destroy the engine — this is the one interval you do not skip.
Does the interval vary by car?
Yes — exact intervals differ by make, model and driving conditions. See the per-model table on this page and always confirm with your owner's manual.
General guidance — confirm the exact interval in your vehicle's owner's manual.
