The presence of a timing belt or timing chain in your Acura TLX depends on the type of engine it has. If you have a 4-cylinder engine, your vehicle will come with a timing chain that does not need maintenance by you. On the other hand, V6 engines come with timing belts that are recommended to be replaced around every 100,000 miles. Timing belts are typically preferred because they are more affordable to produce and change, but as time goes on, they can deteriorate, dry out, and eventually break. If a belt snaps, it could prevent your car from starting, so it's important to replace it before it reaches that point.
The Acura TLX of 2010 is equipped with a timing chain feature.
