Answer

What does your owner's manual say? If you don't have one, then either get one and follow that schedule or, call a dealer and find out the correct change interval. If this is an interference engine, then serious engine damage will occur if it breaks the belt. Don't guess, find out for sure. If you cannot get a definitive answer, then replace it at 60,000 just to be safe.

Answer

The Haynes manual, and two online sources I've looked up say up to '96 change at 60K and '96 and newer 100K. To add to my confusion one source states it's an interference motor another that it isn't.
