Change it now if it gives you piece of mind,. One also has to consider that there is a chance that the replacement will not be done correctly, and the timing will be off or other problems will occur. This is not a simple repair, and a surprising number of people report problems after a timing belt replacement.

I think the 6 cylinder ones call for 90K intervals. I guess the owner's manual has the real story. |
