If you own a Nissan Armada, you might be wondering whether it has a timing chain or belt. Since 2010, all Nissan vehicles have been equipped with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. For earlier models that have a timing belt, it's important to check it regularly - approximately every 5,000 miles or 6 months - to ensure it's not showing any signs of wear, slipping, or breakage. By keeping up with routine maintenance, you can prevent the belt from failing and your engine from overheating. With a timing chain, which newer Nissan models come with, there's no need for a replacement throughout the lifespan of your vehicle, typically around 100,000 to 150,000 miles or 10 to 15 years.
