I did some googling...it says..for newer hondas..its 105K miles...n so i am confused..(the car is not used in extreme conditions)
and how about for cars with timing chain? and for those which are like 98-00 model but less mileage approx 50-70K miles?

Timing chains don't need to be replaced. Timing belts were implemented to make it cheaper and keep costs down, chains are expensive.
