I could have sworn that it uas 50,000 mi. But I liiked it up and your
right. Looks like I have many miles to go yet. I got 90,000 mi in 15
years. Looks like I will die before my Honda. Thanks

According to the manual, the interval for United States 1990-93 Accords is
90k miles/6 years, whichever comes first.

With some exceptions, posts here over the years have generally indicated
people think both limits (miles and time) are worth heeding.

Remember, that 6 years is as important as the mileage. Belts will
deteriorate over time.
