Default 1993 SC300 - When to replace timing belt

I just purchased a 1993 SC300 with 66,000 miles on it. Timing belt has not been done yet.

When should I do this?

i think around 100k but my car with 130k hadn't had it replaced yet so not sure how many more miles it could go.

General Rule...70k to 90k range. I would start checking it in that mileage range.

i remember i was doing a thread on this on my sc4. has 113,000 miles on it, said the timing belt maintenence was done at liek 83,000. so i'm going to wait till like 130,000 miles or so. to have it changed.

Peace out

read your owners manual. general rule of thumb for t-belts is every 60,000miles or 5 years, whatever comes first.

I'm located in Phx if you need it done
