Not changing the oil every 3000 miles on a Acura TSX cause timing belt to go bad?

Changing the oil every 3000 miles is not necessary for an Acura TSX and will not prevent the timing belt from going bad. The recommended oil change interval for the Acura TSX is every 7500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. The timing belt is a rubber belt that drives the camshafts and is recommended to be replaced every 105,000 miles or 7 years, whichever comes first.
