Age does catch up with things so consider the belt now (its been almost 10y on there. Its really preventative for many items and up to you. I did mine this past year on '10 with 60K and it was not done, but certainly was well aged but not like a good Cab or Merlot.

When looking at the MA section of the FSM, take a gander at the other tables (non North America) for maintenance and ask yourself: why the differences? Then decide if you think the US schedule is good enough or if you prefer some more frequent items that engineers seem to recommend for non-NA folks

I tend to blend common sense with age on many cars and while over kill I am fine DIY for many things and recently did the plugs as well which is spot on the rest of world schedule but 40K early for the US schedule for the same exact part. Riiiiiiight.
