The change interval depends on the year of the car. On 1994 Civics the
interval was 90k. I know some models have had 60k intervals.

The car has 125k and never had the timing belt done. I know I'm playing
russian roulette if I do this and I assume the engine is an interference
engine. Has anyone gone more than 130k on the original timing belt? Also
what is the change interval? 60k? 90k?
Thanks,

I replaced mine at 145k on my '92 VX. Not because it needed it, but because
I was having some other work done at the time anyway. I did not see the
condition of the old belt, but I felt 145k was pretty good, given it's
spec'd life is 110k and it's recommended service life is 90k. I can't say
they'd all make it to 145k, though.

I'm up to 216k on the 2nd one--but now the tranny is starting to whine. I
get it's replacement: a '02 Accord 2D EX V6 in October!
