The Hyundai Genesis comes with a timing chain, which is located inside the engine and stays lubricated with engine oil. Timing chains are durable and can last a long time compared to timing belts, which are prone to drying out and cracking as they are situated outside the engine. To prevent timing chain issues, it's essential to maintain your engine properly and follow the recommended oil change intervals. Using high-quality engine oils and oil filters will also contribute to the timing chain's longevity. Keeping the oil level correct is crucial to ensure the timing chain is always well lubricated, especially since some modern engines consume oil. Typically, a timing chain should last the lifetime of the engine; however, with high mileage, around 200,000 miles or more, the chain might experience timing problems and require replacement at that point.

    My car, a Genesis, has driven 18,000 miles. I've been changing the oil every 3,500 miles and always use premium gas. Now, should I have the timing chain replaced at around 200,000 miles or not?
