I was under the impression that GM used timing CHAINS for all of their V6 engines... but I've been wrong before. If it's truly a timing belt, most manufacturers will recommend changing every 60K to 75K miles. If it's a chain, wait for the engine to wear out and do it all at once. The 1991-96 Oldsmobile 3.4L V6 does indeed have a timing belt. It should be replaced every 60,000 miles. The belt also drives the water pump, so I would recommend you install a new water pump at the same time to avoid future labor costs. The 1996 engine is an interference engine so it is imperative that the belt be replaced on time.
