Hello, actually, timing belts are required at 7 years / 105,000 miles -- whichever comes first on this vehicle, or when the "minder 4" indicator illuminates on the dash. Strongly recommend Genuine Honda parts, inclusive of timing belt, drive belt, water pump, and likely the timing belt tensioner. It's not a bad idea to change your coolant while you're there also, plus your oil and filter change. The "minder 4" also says to replace spark plugs and check and adjust valve clearance. PS, I direct a Honda parts and service operation; it's kind of my daily life to know this specific stuff.
