Does the timing belt on an 08 Honda Accord need to be changed?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
4cyl Accords 2003-2007 has timing chains and lasts a very long time. 6cyl though and later models have timing belts, which is estimated to last 7 years or 105k miles and will need replacement.

The FOUR BANGER has TWO TIMING CHAINS and requires FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL that will keep the hydraulic tensioners CLEAN and FREE of tarry sludge deposits! The ACCORD V6 DOES have a timing BELT that needs to be changed every 100k miles or so! YOUR HONDA is SUPERB! DO NOT USE VALVOLINE and other WAX based junk oil in it! MOBI LONE 0W-30 or AMSOIL will keep your hydraulics SHOWROOM CLEAN and FRESH with NO DEPOSITS at all! GOOD LUCK!!

the 2008 Honda Accord does have a timing belt and does need to be replaced when worn

any vehicle with a timing belt needs to be replaced when worn

they might mean that THEY dont change the belt, someone somewhere else might

if that belt has not been changed since it was bought then absolutely get it changed. that is an item that should be changed out every 50K to 75K miles

The 2008 Accord does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain that does not need to be changed.

Anyone that tells you different is out to lunch.

I'm looking for a car and came across an 08 honda accord. The seller has told me that up to 2008 Honda Accords, they do not change timing belts. Is this true? It has 4 cylinder engine.
