The 2009 Nissan Altima features a timing chain as opposed to a timing belt, which eliminates the need for periodic replacements. Typically, it is recommended to replace the timing chain between 80,000 and 120,000 miles, providing a longer interval compared to timing belts that need replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. The cost of replacing the timing chain ranges from $90 to $250 for parts and up to $700 for labor. While getting this done at the dealership is advised, a reputable mechanic can also perform this service, especially if you have a warranty.
