95,000 miles, have never replaced coolant that I know of, don't recall replacing timing belt, no coolant lost from overflow bottle...Had 80,000 check up, they did a lot of stuff, I didn't really pay attention to what all they did...

make sure your cooloing fan is kicking on. A quick way to check if the engine is cool is to turn on your a/c, if it doesn't kick on then its a bad fan motor or switch

you may need to replace your thermostat.
