Ford switched back to using timing belts in some engines after 2011, but any Ford Focus made between 2008 and 2011 is equipped with a timing chain. If you have a timing chain, you're in luck because it's one less maintenance concern to fret over. While timing belts typically require replacement every 60,000 miles, a timing chain can last the lifetime of the vehicle if properly cared for. Unlike belts that can dry out and break, the chain is kept lubricated by the engine oil, meaning it can continue functioning smoothly as long as you stick to your scheduled oil changes to prevent it from drying out.
