Your 2006 Honda CR-V comes equipped with a timing chain, which is designed to last the lifetime of the engine. However, as your vehicle accumulates high mileage, typically around 200,000 miles or more, the timing chain may develop issues and eventually require replacement. Unlike timing belts that are prone to drying out and cracking as they are located outside of the engine, timing chains are housed within the engine and are lubricated by engine oil, allowing them to last longer. To prevent timing chain problems, it is essential to maintain your engine properly by following recommended oil change intervals and using high-quality engine oils and filters. Keeping the oil at the proper level will ensure continuous lubrication of the timing chain, which is crucial given the complexity of many modern engines.
