Default Since the lettering can many t

Since the lettering can many times still be read on the back of belts even after 60K miles, obviously it is unlikely significant material has been removed. As I am sure JRV can attest, there seens no logic in belt lifing, I have seen 308s with ragged and cracked belts still working, others with "new" appearing that failed. The 12 cylinders are much easier on belts, the criteria for them is different just as for a Honda or VW or Porsche. Like 3x8, the 944 Porsche was notorious, you have to go with belts at 45K or pay the price.
Just my $0.02
