The 2008 Honda Civic is equipped with a timing chain, not a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and do not require regular replacement like timing belts do. However, it's still important to maintain the engine properly to ensure the timing chain functions effectively.

The 2008 Honda Civic has a timing CHAIN. I know it has come with a timing chain standard since at least 2006 when they redesigned the engine. It is possible that they have been using them even longer than that but I can not verify that. I seel Honda Civic's, they are great cars, get great gas mileage, and are fun to drive. They utililze a time chain, which is more durable than a timing belt, and does not require maintenance. I hope this helped answer your question.
