Default When does the timing belt need to be done on a 2006 Accord V6?

So I have the 06 V6 Accord. I looked in the manual and see it said to change the timing belt at 60k. I hadn't been worrying about it as I'd read 105k online. So when does this thing really need to be changed? I'm reading 105k online and 60k in the manual. That's a huge difference.

60k is only for Very Severe conditions (below -20 degrees F, or above 110 degrees F). I don't think anyone "regularly" drives in those conditions. That's what my 03 owner's manual says. Otherwise it's 105k or 7 years, whichever comes first.

Glad to hear that. I was used to the 90k mile interval on the old Accord. However, I read 105k on this one so I hadn't worried about it. Then I saw someone mention 80k so I figured I better look in the manual and saw 60k. I was shocked because I have 82k on mine. So I got super worried. Glad I have a little while longer.
