60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 72 months, whichever comes first.
Every 15,000 miles or 24 months after that.
That is the only replacement rule printed on the chart.
No belt length and no routing diagram are copied. The figure, if the book shows one for a specific engine, stays in the manual.
Outbound links only. BaySheet does not sell parts. Confirm fitment on the retailer page. Amazon links are searches for a real part name plus this vehicle. Tool rows do not get a product search. The search is not a part number.
