The best bet is to go by the recommended maintenance time in the owners manual. The timing belt could last much longer, but when it breaks there will be no warning. If the engine is known as close tolerance then the engine could be ruined.
The 2008 Kia Optima 4 cylinder equipped with a timing chain will normally last the life of the engine and is changed when the engine is rebuilt. The 2.7 Liter V6 is equipped with a timing belt which MUST be changed every 60,000 miles. Warning the V6 is an interference engine.
A 2007 Toyota Corolla does not have a timing belt. It has a timing CHAIN. It is expected to last the life of the car.
Most manufactures recommend replacing the timing belt around 100,000 miles.

on average 60,000 miles
The RX 350 has a Timing chain, not a belt. (The 330 had a belt). With proper care and maintenance on your engine, it should last a long long time... but I would plan to replace @ 150,000. It will eventually wear out..
I have a 98 Nissan sentra, and it doesn't have a timing belt.
no. it has a chain not belt. it should last as long as the car.
Your belt is listed to last 105000 miles. Do not wait to replace it, mine broke 1000 miles after that. Not a fun time.
The 3.8 liter V6 engine in a 1991 Mercury Cougar has a timing CHAIN
Timing chains are not a scheduled maintenance replacement unlike a timing belt. Timing chains usually don't need to be replaced unless there is a problem with the engine itself. Timing chains will last as long as the engine. This is from personal experience.
The Endeavor has a big, beefy timing belt. It can last a very long time but to be safe 105,000 miles is a good benchmark for changing it.
