Oil is a killer of timing belts. IIRC the later 940 non-turbo had a 100k interval. I used to change the B230 belts every 50k until I kept pulling out new looking belts. Plus it was a lot of work on a personal fleet of five Volvos that were driven a lot. The round toothed belts in the 93-95 series are said to last even longer, those were the 100k belts in the last 940 models. The last 93+ belt I did, went over 100k miles before being changed out preventatively.
