    ...40 years or so!!

    Does age have a major impact on when to change...

    Thanks

    Check mahufacturers website for a new one for time status. The elements will certainly dry out one just sitting their plus forces wii cause it to warp like a tire going out of round if left parked for too long Also you can treat it as well to extend life

    I dunno, I did mine at 90k or so and the belt looked fine. I know, I know, you can't really tell from looking at it.

    Bottom line is, it can't hurt, it's not too difficult to do yourself, so if you got the cash and the time, do it for peace of mind.
