    belt

    We have a 2000 Altima with 121,900 miles and it still has the original serp.
    belt on it and we are getting ready to change it. When are you suppose to
    change it and is it hard to change?
    We have had the plugs changed and other simple things for it. We still get
    23-28mpg on it.
    No complaints out of this Nissan...Great Car

    The change interval recommendation is at 60,000 miles.
    I always thought it was conservative and you proved it.
    It is a safe project for a Saturday morning mechanic.

    60k miles is correct, I know of friends who drove an extra 15k miles without the belt breaking. When the belt breaks it will cost you a minimum of $800 to repair the damage to the valves and potentially the pistons, etc..... So don't go to far
    Call the Nissan shop and get it serviced

    Re: belt

    The altima has a timing chain not a timing belt to replace at 60,000 miles

    Your vehicle should have a chain, not a timing belt. Chains do not need
    replacement under normal conditions.
