1991 Accord timing belt schedule question
 

I don't have an owners manual for the car and I think I read on this
newsgroup that the timing belt on a 1991 Accord needs to be changed at
90,000 miles. I just spoke to Honda service and they said 60,000
miles. This is a 4 cylinder. The car has 94,000 miles so if it is
60,000, not good.

The odd thing is that I thought I had the timing belt done when I
bought the car used from the dealer around 7 years ago but they have
no record of it.

I can't find a schedule on the net so if anyone knows for sure please
let me know. Thanks.

You can obtain your Owner's Manual here:
https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp

No login required. Just click "Owner's Manuals", then navigate to yours. It
takes a bit to download the whole thing, so report back here if you want to
do that.

The maintenance schedule in your manual says 90K miles or 72 months. With a
new belt, that interval would increase to 105K/84 months. If you're not
sure when it was done last, get it replaced! You're due now.

Thanks much. Six years. I must have had it done when I got the car,
but not at the dealer. Still, it needs to be done again.

Make sure your driving does not fall into the "severe
category" of the maintenance manual. If it does, then 60k
miles may be the interval.

I don't know what factors affect the interval. I'm in the northeast so
we have snow and salt, and the roads around here can be pretty bumpy.
And I suppose I'm fairly tough on a car although I do the oil pretty
regularly. Still, it's been at least six years so the belt will need
to be done. The car is staying in the family.
