How often should I change the timing belt in my Kia Rio?

I recently bought a Kia Rio and I'm wondering how often I need to change the timing belt. I've heard different recommendations and I'm not sure what is the best course of action. Can you give me some advice?

It is generally recommended to change the timing belt in your Kia Rio every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the model year. However, it is always best to refer to your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

If you are unsure when your timing belt was last changed, it's better to be safe than sorry and have it replaced sooner rather than later. Neglecting to change the timing belt can lead to expensive engine damage.

To ensure the longevity of your Kia Rio, it is recommended to also replace the water pump and tensioner when changing the timing belt. This can save you time and money in the long run.
