Message	But I've always thought it would be best to change the belt due to either mileage OR age. I don't put that many miles on my Z a year either, but I don't know how long it should go before being changed due to old age. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conversation between my sister and my wife (shortly before we got married): Wife: "You know, sometimes I think he loves that Z more than he does me." Sister: "He probably does, and as long as you're okay with that, everything will be fine."
