Im at about 62,500 miles right now on my 07 6. What is the recommended mileage to get the timing belt replaced? I heard 100k miles but that seems ridiculous. Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Did you special order one with a timing belt? Cause as far as I know all L series engines are timing chain driven.

Need proof? Mazda L engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is even no need to go to Wiki, just open the hood, and remove an engine oil filler cap. You should see the chain inside the engine (on the left hand side)

Ok, Ok..... Assuming the rest of the forum is right, and there IS a timing
chain, how often do you oil it? :huh:


Sorry.... I couldn't resist!

LOL.
The chain sits in the engine itself, which is full of oil

I noobed out hard lol...i meant the serpentine belt haha

Just look at your serpentine belt. If there is no cracking or fraying ,you should be ok.

Quick Google search and I found this...
