Here's the revised version: Is there a timing belt or chain in the 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2013 Nissan Altima comes equipped with a timing chain instead of a belt, which is intended to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle under normal conditions. However, it is possible for the timing chain to become damaged or fail, in which case the car may quickly overheat. Replacing the timing chain can cost around $100 for the part and an additional $100 for labor. When purchasing online, be careful as some retailers may incorrectly label both timing chains and timing belts as cam belts. Using a timing belt instead of a chain will not work and may leave you with an unusable part.
