The 2014 Honda Pilot's 3.6L V6 engine comes with a timing belt, and Honda suggests replacing it every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 4 to 7 years. While there are pros and cons to both timing systems, the frequent replacement requirement for the belt is a major downside. This ongoing cost can add up over the life of your Pilot. On the other hand, a timing chain is usually durable throughout the vehicle's lifespan, often lasting for 250,000 miles or more. However, if a timing chain fails, the repair costs can be significantly higher, often exceeding $3,000. In comparison, replacing a timing belt at its regular intervals typically costs less than $1,000.
