The 2007 Chevy Equinox features a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Many newer vehicles now come with a chain because it is more durable, potentially lasting the lifetime of the car compared to a belt needing replacement eventually due to wear and tear. This shift towards chains is due to their longevity and the dominance of belts becoming less popular among car manufacturers. With proper lubrication as part of regular maintenance, your chain should not require replacement, saving you the hassle of that particular upkeep task.
The camshafts in the 4-cylinder and V6 engines of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox are driven by chains. There is no requirement for regular timing chain replacements.
