It varies for the vehicle as far as manufacturer recommendations. Some Volvos should be changed at 30,000 according to Volvo.

Most vehicles timing belts will last for 100,000 miles unless you are driving them really hard. Chrysler used to recommend 60,000 miles for their 3 liter engines until somebody in California got really upset at the price and got a bill passed that prevented manufacturers from requiring customers to pay big bucks for required maintenance while the vehicle was still under warranty. What did Chrysler do? They changed the interval to 100,000 miles. Without changing anything else.

Most Hondas and Toyotas will go 100K easy but don't push it. As a mechanic for twenty years I saw a lot of Hondas with 105K that bent valves because they didn't change the belt.

Check the owners manual and take your particular style of driving into account.
