Hi there,

This ia belt driven engine, According to Michell 1 the belt should be replaced at 60,000 Mls, and at 105 mls for Cal model optima, where do you live? i would say that it should be covered in Cal but don't think that it will be in other States, why this is so i am unsure, best to contact your dealer for clarification on this matter.
