2011 Accord timing belt or chain?
 
Not sure what my four cylinder Accord has; timing belt or chain. It's an automatic.
Just turned 80K. Should I be aware or concerned? Maintenance schedule???

Thanks.

2011 4 cylinder engine has a chain; it doesn't have specific maintenance.

But people have seen that it IS sensitive to oil level in the engine. With longer & longer oil-change intervals, people are forgetting to check the dipstick for oil LEVEL. The oil-life monitor has no way to measure a decline in oil level, it only keeps track of driving behavior and calculates oil lifespan. So always check the oil level.

Jim: I'm crazy about checking my oil level. I run Amsoil synthetic oil, their Signature series at $$$ but worth it. I'm pretty critical at checking all my fluid levels in my Accord and Subaru Forester.
I'm glad mine has the chain for more peace of mind.
Thank you.:D
