If you own a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander, you'll be happy to know that it comes equipped with a timing chain, which is typically durable enough to last between 250,000 to 300,000 miles. This is a considerable improvement over timing belts, which usually need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles due to wear and tear. However, it's important to be aware of the potential drawbacks of a timing chain. While it's likely that your timing chain will last for the life of your vehicle (unless you drive over 300,000 miles), if it becomes stretched or damaged, it could result in a costly repair bill of up to $3,000 for a replacement. To avoid this expense, make sure to keep your engine adequately lubricated.
