Should I be worried about my Belt? ~840h

Some background information to my setup and current concerns.

Bought my first P2S (3D printer in fact) used with around 380 hours.

I regularly checked the maintenance schedule on the unit itself and thought to myself: "Huh.. 30+ days until next maintenance, nothing to worry about"

So after one intense month of ownership and 500 hours of printing I decided to clean, regrease and lube the z-axis and linear rods. After checking back with the wiki one month was recommended.

Taking a closer look I first noticed black coating on the linear rods sadly no pictures since I already cleaned those. I assume/hope that was just residue. I keep getting slightly darker oil spots on the X-rods ends.

> Could this be leftover residue being flushed out?

Now to the main question are my belts cooked?

Haven't done any tensioning yet... and haven't had an print quality reduction/issues so far.

Will definitely condense the maintenance schedule now and retension tomorrow. But for peace of mind I'd appreciate some feedback.
