Or is it another name?

If the car is very well look after, you could push it to $140k but I personally wouldn't recommend any higher than 120 just in case.
I did mine at 103,000. If you have the funds, do it once it hits 100k. No point doing it earlier, otherwise the following one will come up quicker.

I already did it cause A) my water pump was shot... badly...
B) my steering boots needed changing
C) my tie rack needed changing...
so i got my timing belt done as well since its too much work to get back in there later when it eventually came to changing it... Owell in total the service + parts and labour was 1300. Wasnt as much as i thought it would be.
