★ Top Answer
The 2012 Nissan Maxima comes with a timing chain instead of a timing belt, which is a durable and long-lasting feature. It is recommended to have the chain inspected annually as part of regular maintenance. The chain is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, typically around 100,000 to 125,000 miles. If replacement is necessary, expect to spend between $80 and $247 on parts. Labor costs for replacing the chain by a mechanic can range from $140 to $360.

Since when is it considered normal for a Nissan Maxima's lifespan to range between 100,000 to 125,000 miles? I have personally owned approximately 6 of them, and only one had less than 125,000 miles when I purchased it!
