When to change the timing belt?
Hi all

So I have a mechanic who's worked on Honda and Acura vehicles for 25 years. Very reliable guy, never steered me wrong. However he is telling me the timing belts should be changed at 160,000 km. He said to do it at 150,000 to be safe. All the forum posts I see say to do it at 105,000km. Is he mistaken? I cant figure out if I should do it now or not. Im at 96000km on my 2008 TL.

Thanks for viewing
