    Toyota recommends replacing the timing belt at the 90,000 mile service, or when it ha been in service for 6 years.
    The engine is an interference engine, so don't push it too long after the recommended interval.
    This is more of a mileage/time interval, so the schedule A and B are not relevant to this repair.
