The 2009 Kia Rio comes with a timing chain, and it's important to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles. Make sure to change the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, and replace the spark plugs either every 100,000 miles (unless they are copper, then every 30,000 miles). Keep an eye out for engine problems like loose gaskets, loose spark plugs, oil leaks, and excess oil use. If the engine overheats, it can lead to dangerous situations like fires and explosions, so address any issues promptly.

It uses a combination of belt and chain to drive two camshafts, with one camshaft being belt-driven and the other camshaft being chain-driven, with one end being belt-driven and the other end being chain-driven.
