When did the timing belt go on my Honda Odyssey?
I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey bought new in June 2000 with 161,755 miles on it. I have not replaced the timing belt and have no plans to do so. In some cars the timing belt will go like clockwork (ie. my 86 Subaru GL not once but twice) while others such as the Honda may never go. The transmission is a little loose, but still working fine.

The timing belt on a Honda Odyssey generally needs to be replaced about every 60,000-100,000 miles . If you tend to drive in places with extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures, it’s a good idea to replace it closer to 60,000 miles than to wait until 100,000 miles.
Why do I need to change my timing belt?
Breakage is not the only reason to replace your timing belt. Looseness and wear can allow the timing belt to slip, resulting in very poor performance, a no-start condition, or engine damage. Proper maintenance requires timing belt replacement at regular intervals – before it breaks or wears out.
How long can a timing belt last on a Honda?
Hondas have been known to last for a while with timing belts up to 180,000 miles. Honda typically recommends you change your belt closer to 60,000 miles, so this would definitely be an anomaly. At least one driver on CarTalk mentioned that they had a Honda Prelude that got to about 230,000 miles on the original timing belt.
