Back in 2007 I had the timing belt, water pump, camshaft seals, and tensioner replaced, plus the other three belts on my 89 Maxima.
I was told that rubber would probably start to crack after that, but have not noticed that on the 3 serpentine belts, although one of the tensioners seems to have polished the water pump and power steering a little, but no cracks. There was a little oil coming from valve covers, but was only on front and back, not toward the timing belt cover, managed to stop it by tightening loose screws.
I live in southern California, so the weather is pretty mild for the most part.
Car has about 94.5k on it in total, got it at about 42k in 2002 with all original parts.
I have gotten different opinions from different people, figure I would ask here.
