Timing Chain or Timing Belt?
Does the Honda 2011 Fit have a timing belt or a timing chain? When would you recommend changing it? Have looked in the manual but can't find anything on either a belt or a chain.

Thanks for the reply and the info. I was surprised when I looked in the owners manual and there is nothing on when to change the timing chain.

It's a chain and there is no replacement interval. I've never sold any timing components for any Fit in my like 10 years at a dealership.

I am willing to bet the fit is just like the 2007 Civic Si with it's timing chain, or the Acura RSX's and TSX's with their timing chain.
You change it when the ECU tells you to change it when it throws the code.
My Si has 355,000 Kilometers and still on the original chain and I wind her up to 8500 RPM regularly.
Where a buddy of mine had to replace the chain and tensioner rails on their Acura TSX to get the engine light to go away.
