All the 2000-2005 Toyota Echo models are equipped with a 4-cylinder engine featuring a timing chain instead of a belt. Unlike a belt, a timing chain is low-maintenance and durable, designed to last the entire lifespan of your engine. To ensure its longevity, it is crucial to maintain regular oil changes. Low oil levels can lead to the chain drying out, causing friction with other parts and potential chain breaks, which can ultimately damage your engine and require costly replacements.
