In 2006 the Civic went to chains instead of belts.
The CR-V has had timing chains since 2002.
All vehicles with a V6 engine still have belts.
Older vehicles with belts called for changing the belt every 90,000, 105,000 or 120,000 miles unless the vehicle's use was classified as severe in which case it would be sooner than that. Even a chain could eventually cause problems especially when you have it in a car that runs forever. A chain would cost a lot more to replace but because it last so much longer there is no time recommended top change it. It's important to keep the oil topped off.
You can look up maintenance schedules in the owner's manuals available online here: https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/RJAA鈥?/a>
Any Honda mechanics can tell me wnat year they stopped req. timing chain to be changed?
The Maintenance Minder will tell you when to change the timing belt on a 2006 or 2007 vehicle. The time will vary according to how you drive the vehicle. Things that can affect this difference is how much city verses rural driving you do %26amp; how much time you sit with the vehicle idling.

It would be a code number 4 on the Maintenance Minder indicator. The time to change the belt can vary from 60,000 to 120,000 miles depending how you drive. See pages 194 %26amp; 199 in the owner's manual.
Only the V6 has a belt in 2006, 2007

All timing belts/chains need to be replaced eventually. A chain will have a longer service life but still eventually needs replacing.
timing belt 80k mils on most cars
?
Honda engines are interference engines.
They all should have a service interval to the timing BELT.
Or just ignore that and replace a whole engine when the valves smash into pistons...
Hahahahaha...funny how the guy above is all cocky...
Ever heard of a the K-series engines? Which have timing CHAINS??
they have never stopped suggesting that they shouldnt be changed. Usually a car should have water pump and timing belt replace around 70k mi. Many honda techs i know say in hondas you should do it around 100k miles!!
