Every Honda Civic made between 2006 and 2017 is equipped with a timing chain rather than a belt. Timing belts were commonly used in older Honda models due to cost efficiencies and lower replacement expenses for owners. Unlike timing belts, timing chains in newer vehicles like the Honda Civic last longer as they are lubricated by engine oil and wear down gradually. With regular maintenance, a timing chain can extend the lifespan of the engine, making it a preferred component in modern vehicles.
