you should replace the timing belt around 60k miles. That's whats recommended by the manufacturer.
Every 60k miles/100k km
Every 60,000 miles
The 2006 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4L engine is equipped with a timing belt, not a timing chain. It's important to follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for timing belt replacement to prevent potential engine damage. Typically, the recommended interval for replacement is around 60,000 to 105,000 miles, depending on specific driving conditions.
Dealer says to replace it at 60k miles if not a little sooner. Mine personally waited till 94k or so and the mechanic literally almost fell out of his chair hearing this and said I was extremely lucky as these timing belts are know for breaking not long after 60k. The timing belt swap cost $345 for me.
every 60 thousand miles
