All three engine options available for the 2019 Hyundai Elantra are equipped with a timing chain, which is great news for those of us who have had issues with timing belts in the past. The chains are more reliable and should have a longer lifespan if you stick to your regular oil change schedule. Proper lubrication from the oil helps prevent quick wear and tear on the chain.

If you hear loud rattling noises, experience engine misfires, or notice excessive shaking at idle, it's a serious issue that should be addressed promptly.
