Vehicle owners in Meridian, MS should know the differences between a timing belt and a timing chain. While both components play a critical role in synchronizing the engine's crankshaft and camshaft rotation, they have distinct maintenance requirements. Timing belts are made of rubber and need to be replaced at the mileage interval specified by the manufacturer, usually between 60,000-100,000 miles.
In contrast, metal timing chains typically last much longer, but still require inspection and potential replacement. Failing to replace a worn timing belt or chain can result in serious engine damage if the component breaks while driving around the Meridian area. Visit the service center at Nissan of Meridian to have your vehicle's timing belt or chain inspected and replaced if needed.
The certified technicians at this Meridian, MS dealership use genuine OEM parts and follow the manufacturer's recommended service schedule for timing belt and timing chain replacements.
