★ Top Answer
The Mazda CX3 utilizes a timing chain instead of a timing belt, providing a more responsive throttle input compared to a standard all-wheel drive system. Unlike a timing belt that requires periodic replacement, the timing chain is designed to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle and demands less maintenance. Timing belts need to be changed because they are exposed outside the engine, unlike chains which are enclosed within the engine. For vehicles with timing belts, replacements are recommended every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, while chains may only need inspection around every 150,000 miles focusing on tension and sprockets.
