The Toyota Celica has a timing chain, not a timing belt, which doesn't need frequent replacing. The chain is kept lubricated by engine oil and is known to have a longer lifespan than a belt that can dry out quickly. Many manufacturers prefer using timing chains as they are more durable. Typically, the timing chain is swapped out every 80,000 to 120,000 miles, but sometimes it may require earlier replacement if there are issues. However, in many instances, the timing chain can last for the entire lifespan of the vehicle without needing to be changed.
The 2005 Toyota Celica is equipped with a timing chain instead of a timing belt.
