Default Timing Belt--years?

I have a1992 Honda Accord EX with 34,000
original miles. The owners manual recommends changing
the belt every 6 years or 90,000 miles. It also says you
should change the oil every 3 months and 3,000 miles.
Suppose one drives 3,000 miles in a year. Does that mean
they need 3 oil changes instead of one? Do you all think I
should get the timing belt replaced even though the car has
very low mileage?

its probably a good idea to change the belt, as they do tend to dry out, like all belts... as far as the oil changes... go by what the book says... if its saying every 3 months... then do it every 3 months if its only being driven so few miles per year.

Have any pictures of this car?? it must be MINT!?!?

Still in the dark ages when it comes to technology. When I get a new computer and scanner soon, I'll post some pics. The body is in close to mint shape and the arcadia green metallic paint still shines as if it were new. Seems like Honda has a quality paint here with good depth. No rust to worry about here in the desert, just heat. Still experimenting with waxes. The cheap ones like Turtle Wax and Armor All tend to attract a lot of dust. The only other quirk is that when extending and retracting, the power antenna makes a rapid clicking sound for a few seconds after the mast is fully extended or retracted. I get about 23mpg in city driving which I think is pretty good.
