REPLACEMENT INTERVAL; Initial inspection at 60,000 miles/72 months. Inspect every 15,000 miles/18 months thereafter. Your mechanic will look for cracks, splits, damaged edges, missing chunks, glazing and other signs of wear. Usually it's fairly easy to see when the belt is worn out. A worn-out belt must be replaced. A drive belt must also be replaced if it is found to be soaked in oil, or stretched.
