This service is based on milage found in the vehicles maintanance manual that came with the vehicle. Open your manual and look at the scheduledmaintenancechart. That is how you know when to change it.
It should be changed every 60,000 miles on all years 1988-94 with a timing belt. It is not an interference engine.

Give yourself 3 hours to do this job. make sure you get the timing marks correctly aligned. Thanks Malcolm
Most mfg. suggest to change it at 60k miles. Since your car has over 90k , Isuggest you change it as soon as possible, My 1989 car broke the belt and it bent valves and damaged head and pistons. Changing the belt is not expensive,
there is no timing belt, or a belt to turn your camshaft if that is what you are wondering, it is all done by a timing chain and there is no service that they need.
I was looking at the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) and for the 1600 cc engine in a 2003 Mazda Protege ( Canada ) it shows ( 60,000 miles )
First, disconnect the battery and then, remove the alternator and power steering belt, then the timing belt cover, the timing belt and the two pulleys, unscrew the pump bolts and that's it
I doubt it. Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine.
If the engine is a non-interference type then the answer is NO. See the list below:
