I do thank the previous post for correcting the timing belt interval and I must admit I was looking at the wrong column in my owners manual. On page 192 in the Honda Pilot owners manual it states that under normal use at 90,000 miles you should have suspension components checked, inspect drive belts, replace air cleaner element and replace VTM-4 rear differential fluid. The correct column next to it is 105,000 miles that states replace spark plugs, inspect valve clearance, replace automatic transmission fluid, inspect idle speed, REPLACE TIMING BELT and inspect water pump. The dealership interval could be different to line their pocket but the only thing a customer can reference correctly is an owners manual. At 60k miles that's the whopper servicing that the service department will make $400+ on that service interval while on the next one at 80k miles the cost is $80 plus. The only thing you can do is see if the timing belt was ever changed. We can debate over timing belt changing, you can get an answer from 60k miles, 90k miles or the owners manual at 105k miles. Once the owner confirms when it was changed then you can start the interval all over again.
