Does the 2013 Acura ILX 2.0 come equipped with a timing belt or chain?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2013 Acura ILX equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine features a timing chain, a superior choice over a timing belt. Chains generally do not require replacement like belts do. Positioned within the engine, chains benefit from lubrication provided by the engine oil, whereas belts are more exposed as they sit on the outside of the engine. Typically, belts need replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, whereas chains should be inspected around every 150,000 miles to check for wear or damage, often as a result of becoming loose or worn out.
