Does the 2011 Nissan Quest come equipped with a timing belt or chain system in its engine?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2011 Nissan Quest now features a timing chain instead of a timing belt. In the past, from 1992 to 2002, the Quest used a timing belt before switching to a timing chain in 2003. One reason for this change could be that timing belts require more maintenance and replacement compared to timing chains, which are designed to last for the vehicle's entire lifespan. Timing belts typically need replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, whereas timing chains only need to be inspected around every 150,000 miles. It's important to inspect the chain periodically as they can degrade over time and may eventually fail.
