Default okay we all know that you should replace the timing belt at 60k...
but what about a car with low miles that is older? Should I consider a TB schedule change like an oil change schedule? rough example: every 10k miles or 12 month... which ever comes first. Something like replace the TB every 60k or 5 years which ever comes first? God, I sound like a tard!

That's because the belt spins the other way downunder.
