The 2013 Honda Odyssey is fitted with a 3.5L V6 engine, which is fitted with a timing belt. Honda recommends changing this every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, based on usage, because of routine wear and tear. While this is seen as a recommendation and not gospel, it's best to replace the timing belt at regular intervals because failure can be catastrophic. Many auto enthusiasts prefer vehicles with timing chains to those with timing belts, because of their longevity; whereas the Odyssey's timing belt might last 100,000 miles, a timing chain is typically good for an effective lifetime of 250,000 miles. However, belts are much less expensive than chains to swap, since they're a "replaceable part". You've really got to take the good with the bad, but always be sure that Your timing belt is in good condition in order to stay safe on the road.

The 2013 Honda Odyssey comes with a timing chain and not a timing belt, which is meant to last for the life of your vehicle engine
