Timing Belt

It's not just mileage, but time. Be VERY CAUTIOUS about not letting the belt become too brittle. You would be wise to check this out right now.

That's what I was wondering because the manual for the 2006 Pilot says nothing about time duration. There's no way to check it without taking the cover off, correct?

If you cannot see it, have your mechanic check it out. You'll thank me for saving your engine. Remember, it's better to be safe than sorry. If you blow the engine, it will cost thousands of dollars in repairs. Once you do this, you can rest easy knowing that you can go another 70,000 miles. I had an old 1995 Honda Accord and sold it at 150,000 miles, no problem. Honda is a great car, but, you cannot run past these service intervals without doing some mechanical work. Good luck.

Actually, I like the timing belt setup better than the timing chain! Why? They're QUIET and you know what time they were replaced. You never know when and where a timing chain might break or get stretched out, and they have been known to rattle. Replacing the timing chain usually is a much bigger job and more costly.

Thank you for your answers. Take make sure, you're saying to NOT wait for what Honda recommends in the manual to change it when the light comes on at around 105,000 miles? Because they don't give a time recommendation.

All very good advise, thank you for your help!

Albinator, your welcome, please mark one of my answers, best answer. Thanks.

Albinator--- thank you!!

I have a 2007 Pilot with less than 40,000 miles. Should I change my timing belt?

I believe honda recommends 105k miles or every 7 years.
