Only ONE timing chain? You're rolling the dice ... one guy I know does his Honda's every 50k. I'd say 70's okay. But you are twice that. Do you use Mobil 1?

Wonder if Toyotas are as sensitive to the timing chain issue as the Hondas? I have a '97 Geo Prizm (Toyota Corolla) with 92K and thinking maybe I should have it done.

Nope. Used 10W30 with a little sand thrown in, for good measure. Just kidding...

The only service I followed regularly is the lifter adjustment every 80K or so (3 so far).

That Honda is the single most dependable car I've ever owned. I'm keeping it now for sentimental reasons, and to see if I can get 300k out of her.
