So I'm at 48,000ish miles right now and I'm wondering if anyone knows how long these belts are good for in terms of years. I bought the car almost a year ago with 40,000 and I know the belt is likely original, so its 16 years old. I know 60,000 is the normal interval but with the belt being so old I'm not sure if it could be dry rotting or if belt technology has come far enough to where it shouldn't be an issue yet.
