Following the service manual is usually a good idea, but like
you said, it's not gospel.There are plenty of guys on this site who do things in a way
that the service manual might not say to do them... does that
make them wrong? Or is it possible that the service manual
isn't 100% accurate and complete in every possible situation? Other manufacturers (I think even Nissan sometimes) specify
an alternative replacement interval in months if you don't hit
the mileage interval first. But since it doesn't say anything
about time in the service manual, I'm sure you'd be ok with a
belt that's 100 years old, as long as it still has 50k on it.
