I ran my 2012 pilot with similar miles for 200k without changing the belt (it’s also got that v6 shared with the tl if I’m not mistaken)
I changed the timing belt on my girlfriend's 99 accord last year for a grand total of 24 years and 110k miles. To be honest it looked really good and I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted another 15 years
233,000 mi. 2007 accord with 2.4L vtech. Sold the car to a buddy and it is still going strong.
My sister ran her Honda Odyssey 3.5 to 245k miles. Never had a belt.
I had a 2002 Honda civic at 230K and never changed the timing belt.
Use a genuine Honda belt if you decide to replace it, a new auto parts store belt will likely fail before that old Honda belt.
Dayco isn’t original meaning someone’s changed it before. Cracks mean way too long ago. Don’t chance it
Timing belt is only issue with these.
There is a fault with these engines! The belt starts to break up prematurely, clogging up the oil galleries inside the engine! First sign of this starting to happen is your turbo starts to get louder, then siezes. Happened mine just outside of warranty (42k miles). Luckily honda footed the bill and replaced the engine.
change it. do it at the dealer, and don't use an aftermarket belt. I changed mine at the millage i was supposed to(70,000, i think), at a local garage, and he 'saved' me $10 by using a non-honda manufactred belt. fast forward another 30,000 miles and the belt broke. caused $3000 in damages to my top end, (bent valves, etc,) and was not covered by warranty (car, belt or manufacturer). it totalled my car.
