Does a Mazda 3 have a timing belt or chain?
I just bought my very first car! It’s a 2017 Mazda 3, and I’m trying to educate myself on everything about it. Does a Mazda 3 have a timing belt or chain?

Great question, and congrats on getting your very first car!
Mazda
3s use timing chains rather than timing belts.That’s good news for you because, with proper maintenance, timing chains tend to be more durable than rubber belts and can last the life of the vehicle. In contrast, a timing belt is usually expected to need replacing at some point, often between 60,000 and 100,000 miles.
Enjoy your new ride! While you’re brushing up on your Mazda 3 knowledge, it’s also worth taking a look at your car insurance policy to make sure it’s giving your car the protection it needs. The
Jerry
app can help you with that! All you have to do is download the app, take a minute to enter your information, and then you can start reviewing competitive quotes from top car insurance providers to find the right policy for you at the best price.
Getting started takes less than a minute, and the average Jerry user saves $887 per year on car insurance!
