The 2015 Nissan Sentra comes equipped with a timing chain in its engine. However, there are several potential issues you may encounter, such as oil leaks that should be promptly addressed, a loose gasket that requires tightening, a spark plug that could dislodge causing engine problems, excessive oil consumption necessitating more frequent oil changes, and the serious risk of engine overheating leading to fires and potential explosions. It's recommended to replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, change the coolant every 60,000 miles, and swap out spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless they are copper, in which case they should be replaced every 30,000 miles.
The timing mechanism in the 2015 Nissan Sentra is a timing chain, not a timing belt.
All of the engine choices available for the 2015 Nissan Sentra come equipped with timing chains.
How do you know if the timing chain is failing in a 2015 Nissan Sentra?
