The 2018 Kia Forte is equipped with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine that features a timing chain. Unlike a timing belt that needs regular replacement, a timing chain in this engine is designed to last a lifetime, so there's no set time for changing it. However, it's important to stick to a regular oil change schedule and use the right oil viscosity to prevent any potential issues with the chain in the long run. Using the correct oil will ensure proper flow and oil pressure, reducing the risk of chain problems. It's more cost-effective and convenient to maintain good oil pressure than to replace the chain, so make sure to follow your routine maintenance to avoid any issues for many years to come.
