After 2015, all models of Mitsubishi Outlander come standard with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. This is a significant advancement, as timing belts used to require regular inspections and replacements. Timing chains are designed to last the entire lifetime of the vehicle, compared to belts. In most cases, the chain is covered by warranty for up to 100,000 miles or the first 10 years of ownership. If you need to replace the chain yourself, you can expect to spend between $140 and $249 on parts alone. The replacement process typically takes around 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete.
The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport features a timing chain as part of its design.
I drive a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 3.0. Can you tell me if it has a timing belt or a timing chain?
Is there a time when it requires replacement?
