How Often Should I Replace My Timing Belt/Chain?
The timing belt or chain is essential for synchronizing the engine’s moving parts. It’s recommended to replace the timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or as advised by your vehicle’s manufacturer. Timing chains generally last longer but should still be inspected regularly to avoid damage to other engine components.
