Does Nissan use timing belts or chains?
I am about to buy my first Nissan. Quick question—does Nissan use timing belts or chains?
Nick Kunze · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Timing chains and timing belts do the same job—they keep the crankshaft and camshaft synchronized and the engine running smoothly. The difference is the material they’re made with and how long they last.
A timing belt is made of rubber and will need to be replaced at least every 100,000 miles. A timing chain is made of metal and is designed to last the entire lifetime of your Nissan.
So, having a timing chain should save you money in the long run, as you’ll avoid replacement costs down the road.
Another great way to save money is to use insurance broker Jerry to find a cheaper
