2002 Camry XV20, V6, 235,000 Miles, Manual Transmission.
VERY Rarely Driven. maybe a 35 minute trip and another 35 trip back once every 2 weeks.
Timing Belt was last changed "Last change was 2016/11."
Timing Belt Change was by Toyota using a AFtermarket belt.
DO I need to change it OR CAN I leave it? I was told they can last longer than 20 years...(genuine belt though)
Thank you for time, Scotty.
CAN I leave it?
If you don't mind getting stuck on the road in some random place, sure thing. That's apparently not an interference engine so it won't self-destruct but it could leave you stranded in a bad situation.
I was told they can last longer than 20 years
Who told you that? It's nonsense. That's a rubber belt and rubber deteriorates with time. Would you expect 20-year-old tires to be reliable?
