In 2013, your Hyundai Sonata will be equipped with either a smaller 2.0L or a larger 2.4L 4-cylinder engine option, both of which use a chain rather than a belt. This detail can have its pros and cons depending on your perspective. Many automotive experts prefer chains for their durability, as they are likely to outlast the rest of your vehicle. However, if a catastrophic failure occurs, it could end up costing you a significant amount of money. Since the chains are not replaceable, it's important to ensure your Sonata's engine stays lubricated to prevent any stretching or damage.
