Is the 2014 Honda Odyssey equipped with a timing belt or a timing chain?

In the 2014 Honda Odyssey with a 3.5L V6 engine, the timing belt should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles according to Honda's recommendation. If you often drive in very hot or cold weather, it's best to lean towards the 60,000-mile mark for a cautious approach. While it may seem excessive, changing the timing belt is an essential way to prevent damage over time. Unlike timing chains that can last for 250,000 miles or more, timing belts, being non-metallic, require more frequent replacement at lower mileage. Even though they are cheaper to replace than chains, you may need to replace multiple belts compared to a single chain failure. Regular maintenance is crucial as a failed timing belt at high speeds could cause severe damage to your vehicle, posing a risk of personal injury or even loss of life.
