The owner's contains the following text regarding the timing belt: The timing belt should normally be replaced at the intervals shown in the maintenance schedule. (That's 100,000 miles or 168,000 km) Replace this belt at 60,000 miles (U.S.) or 100,000 km (Canada) if you regularly drive your car in one or more of these conditions: In very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C). In very low temperatures (under 20°F, 29°C). The dealership is telling me I will need to replace my timing belt at 100,000 km. I don't know about that. The manual seems to suggest that unless you drive "regularly" in the Mohave desert or Nunavut, the 168,000 km should be fine. What do you guys think?

Where are you and what is your mileage? Did you mean minus 29°C? I thinkthere is also an age consideration - can anyone confirm or dispute?MZ

You're right, it's -29C. In Quebec, we get maybe 5 days below 30 in
the year. And I don't necessarily go out every one of those day. As a
matter of fact, I drove less then 5,000km since last year!
